devil song

beth orton

when the devil comes blowing through your door

you'll know there's trouble

and he's coming back for more

you better keep what is precious hidden under the floor

or you better treat it so good it will never want for more

but looking back in retrospect

did you ever really get what you'd expect?

trying to rectify

got lost a little further

you've been trying to justify

find out how and where it came

devil was your angel

but it's not no more

the devil was your angel

when you weren't sure

do i tempt trouble to break through all these doors

just to put a face to voice which always home?

to fight for what is precious

to know what's under the floor

if i could treat it so good

i swear i'd never want for more

but when i found my peace there was still mistakes

however painfully aware every step i take

trying to rectify got lost a little further

well

i've been trying to justify

find out how and where it came

the devil was my angel

now i'm just not sure

to travel as my angel

there's always my whore

gonna take you back down i won't feel no shame

till my dreams are my own again

gonna take you right down

and i'll take the blame

till my dreams are my own own own again

here i am again

devil was my angel

now i'm just not sure

to travel as my angel

there's always my whore

maybe you're an angel

tried to remember you're an angel

remember you're an angel

if you're not sure

if you're not sure
