Testo The Devil - Mary Lou Williams
Testo della canzone The Devil (Mary Lou Williams), tratta dall'album Mary Lou Williams Presents Black Christ of the Andes
The devil is a woman with a red dress on
A gleam that flits across her roving eye
The devil is a hand that moves along a satin seam
A softly whispered, sweetly whispered lie
The devil is a window filled with fancy clothes
Two lips that part and smile and breathe a sigh
An open door, some place where steps that shouldn't go there goes
A word that touched a heart and made it cry
Where are you gonna run? Where do you think you're gonna hide?
What makes you think you're slick enough to take old Satan for a ride?
Ain't you never took a notice that no matter what you do
Our old friend Mephistopheles gets there just ahead of you
The devil never rests, come day, come dusk, come dawn
You compromise and wind up soul in pawn
So don't it strike you funny when you look him in the eye
The devil looks a lot like you and I
Our old friend Mephistopheles gets there just ahead of you
The devil never rests, come day, come dusk, come dawn
You compromise and wind up soul in pawn
So don't it strike you funny when you look him in the eye
The devil looks a lot like you and I
