uneasy street

on easy st. last night

the devil offered me a deal

he said

come on and take what you'd like

and later tell me how you feel

so i looked up all around

on this uneasy street

i'd have been happy if i had found

something simple to eat

but just as he asked me maureen walked past

i said

mr. devil

she is so refined

he said

i tricked you little brother

i tricked you little brother

that tricky little mother is mine

i wish i was as good as i look

i wish i was that good

i wish i was as good as i look

wish i could be that good

it was too late for me

i'd just set eyes on my heart's ideal

i was in ecstasy i was up and ready to steal

so i looked up all around on this uneasy street

i kept on looking until i found the prints of my beloved's feet

i kept up the chase till i looked right in her face

i said

my darling you have angel's eyes

she said to this little brother

you knew little brother

this is just his still mother's disguise

i wish i was as good as i look

i wish i was that good

i wish i was as good as i look wish i could be that good

i just could not believe someone so beautiful could not be pure

i prayed for some reprieve i had to save her from the devil's lure

but i guess the devil was bound to win

on this uneasy street

i had to know what was beneath her skin

i had to face up to the devil's heat

but i didn't have to ask

she just took off her mask

in a second it was clear to see

he said

i tricked you little brother

i tricked you little brother

this tricky little mother. is me

is me

is me

i wish i was as good as i look

i wish i was that good

i wish i was as good as i look

wish i could be that good

i wish i was as good as i look

i tricked you little brother

i wish i was as good as i look

wish i could be that good

yeah yeah!

i tricked you

little brother!

i wish i was as good as i look

wish i could be that. i tricked you

little brother
