A devil haunts (adaptation)
A devil haunts me 'round the corners everywhere I go.
Wherever I should ramble, mean tongue whispering me so.
Its eyes are looking at me from the bottom of my pint,
its smile I notice on the lips of strange girls in the night.
A devil haunts me 'round the corners everywhere I go.
Wherever I should ramble, with that feeling down below.
All the while my happiness is hanging by a string;
if the door is closed, it will just wait there to get in.
Lord please help me, keep me in the line;
On the straight and narrow, help me keep me up my spine.
Lord please help me; box (strike) me on the ear!
Keep the mind from wandering and a clean shit to wear.
That shadow always hides away a portion of the sun.
In the dreams most beautiful, it creeps into the fun.
Today went with a smiling face, but what there is to come?
The turns of our old game, you see, change when the day is done.
A devil haunts me 'round the corners everywhere I go.
Wherever I should ramble, with that feeling down below.
I'm open to its influence when-ever mind is glum.
To hide from evil; to a love is easier to run.
Lord please help me, keep me in the line;
On the straight and narrow, help me keep me up my spine.
Lord please help me; box me on the ear!
Keep the mind from wandering and a clean shirt to wear.
I can live as how I please, by keeping on my toes.
It won't lead you by the nose, it's always what you chose.
But time to time it's difficult to keep it in the clear.
A suicidal pilot won't need roses at the pier.
Lord please help me, keep me in the line;
On the straight and narrow, help me keep me up my spine.
Lord please help me, box me on the ear!
Keep the mind from wandering and a clean shirt to wear.
