Devil in the eye Songtext

von Big Country

Take a little care
When you put your lips
To her long cool neck

One kiss will be too much
A hundred not enough
Treat her with respect

If I could tell this to you
Would you believe it was true
You might just laugh I expect

And say you feel sophisticated
Confident and ready for the next

Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
Will spell you with her lies

Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
We'll look the devil in the eye

You'll be the class fool
A perfect asshole
You'll be the guy in control

And make decisions
Based on derision
And wake up deep in a hole

Wishing the ground would
Open beneath you
Enough to swallow you whole

So you don't have to face the wreckage
You left scattered from the night before

Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
Will spell you with her lies

Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
We'll look the devil in the eye

You will be dazzled by
The pictures she will paint
Colours she will bring

And feel so safe and warm
Far away from harm
Wrapped up in her wings

And slowly drift through the day
Letting it all slip away
Without a care in the world

And wake up in a cold sweat
Screaming for her touch to ease your troubled soul

Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Dealsi n broken promises
Will spell you with her lies

Has no time for modesty
Doesn't care for honesty
Deals in broken promises
We'll look the devil in the eye

We'll look the devil in the eye
