Market Song (Devil You Know) Lyrics
it's midnight in the market damn right
the moon is full and the checks came in today
we'll all get dixie-fried
tonight we're invincible
millionaires out on the town
with a big can of red paint
tomorrow we'll be bums on the riverbank
at the mercy of the angels and saints
and you say "you're no good for me, baby"
but you always say that with a smile
between you and me and the lamp post
between this living hell and the great unknown
I'm your very own sonny jim
I'm the devil you know
it's way past three and you're yelling at me
'cause I keep falling down
but i've grown to love the way you push me around
and every time you look at me that way
I always forget to breathe
and you always pretend not to notice
the streets are knee deep in punks like me
and you say "you're no good for me, baby"
but you always say that with a smile
between you and me and the lamp post
between this living hell and the great unknown
I'm your very own sonny jim
I'm the devil you know
the moon is full and the checks came in today
we'll all get dixie-fried
millionaires out on the town
with a big can of red paint
tomorrow we'll be bums on the riverbank
at the mercy of the angels and saints
but you always say that with a smile
between you and me and the lamp post
between this living hell and the great unknown
I'm your very own sonny jim
I'm the devil you know
'cause I keep falling down
but i've grown to love the way you push me around
I always forget to breathe
and you always pretend not to notice
the streets are knee deep in punks like me
but you always say that with a smile
between you and me and the lamp post
between this living hell and the great unknown
I'm your very own sonny jim
I'm the devil you know
