Mr. Devil Lyrics

by Jonah Tolchin

My clothes are a mess upon the floor
My thoughts keep me from moving to the door
I am weak and I am selfish and lord I just can't help it
Because my mind don't stay here anymore

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e80646-jonah_tolchin~mr_devil_lyrics.html ]
I once remembered how to move a long
and tap my feet to a happy-hearted song
But I am the sick experiment of a crazy-hearted instrument
that's played me out and sent me back to where I belong

Chorus:
Mr. Devil take me down, down, down for a while
Mr. Doctor, let me go, let me go, for I am wild
Me and my Darling, we will run, run, run, towards the light
But I am a puppet I am evil, I'm primal hungry demon,
and I'm always pulled back to the night.

If you let me I will jump into your arms
but just know that I am a burden full of charms
I am yours, forever dreaming not always here but never
Leaving, and I only wish you can forgive my numbered wrongs

I am a shifter changing form but never heart
I am the fool who never acts but I play all the parts
I am a werewolf, I'm a vampire, and I'll never tell you no lies
I'll just love you like the full moon through the dark

Chorus

So you see that I'm a troubled man
but you make me so much better than I am
And as we travel through the seasons roam the land
committing treason we'll go crazy together hand in hand

Shifting shapes and reasons to go on
the wickedness of my heart's now dead-gone
But like a ghost will be returning so for now we'll keep it burning
Let the wheels roll the show must carry on!
