devil, devil (prelude: princess of darkness)

this town

she is a temptress

a siren with gold eyes

she'll cut you with her kindness

then she will bleed you with her lies

she's been called a glistening devil

and she's good at keeping score

if you make it

she's your savior

if you don't

she's a whore

the roads to and from her heart are littered with creative souls

they gave all their all

and all they got in return was empty holes

sure we've all heard about shel and kris and willie and the bobby bares

she's smiled on the johnny's

the merle's and the many music row millionaires

like a beacon

she goes seeking seed

for her loins so fertile

to a free man

she's a prison

to a caged one

she's a file

she's the reason there's a sunday morning coming down"
