The Devil on Sunday, he wore
He wore his finest clothes
Cozied up to Jesus, said
I’ll follow you wherever you go
Murmured apologies for any unkind words
Then stepped into the Afternoon
Salvation thus assured
Alchemists and Apostates,
May shoot the day for night
Leave it up to Jesus, it’s
His job to put the wrong to right
The Devil laughing said,
“I’ll put the lie to this,
what lovely irony, no quarter for a killer’s kiss”
Any Offering- We’ll see it put to shame
A funny kind of loyalty that gets you through this stupid game
The street musicians called the truth down from the sky (and I)
I howled ‘what’s it mean, I’ve got to know before it passes by”
It rained on Sunday.
in the middle of the day
And the people gazed up to the sky,
their eyes strained through the murky gray
The devil’s in the graveyard
Strolling through the old tombstones
As the people streamed out from the church
filing out under the darkened sky—
heading for their homes
Any Offering- We’ll see it put to shame
A funny kind of loyalty that gets you through this stupid game
The street musicians called the truth down from the sky (and I)
I howled ‘what’s it mean, I’ve got to know before it passes by”
Wo-o-o-o-oah what did I do wrong?
Wo-o-o-o-oah what did I do wrong?
