The Devil You Know

from NO ANESTHESIA by Speedfossil

/

lyrics

Looking for you, wherever you go…To tell you the truth, it’s the devil you know.

Mary Margaret’s got a story that she’s willing to tell, on the day she’s feeling up to it.
You gotta lean in real close, ‘cause she don’t see so well, and she wants to put a face to it.
See the spark in her eyes. Hear the crack in her voice, as she reaches back to long ago.
Before the drink and the drug, took her house and her home…left her with this so-called life she knows.

Bobby’s out on Mass. Ave., somewhere close to route 2, holding up his tattered cardboard sign.
Just a couple of bucks, is all that he needs. Score some hits; then he can go get high.
Plastic bag full of clothes, it’s all that he owns. Yeah, he says his life is gonna change.
Passes out in the park, where he’ll sleep until dawn. In the morning, things are still the same.

Looking for you, wherever you go…To tell you the truth, it’s the devil you know.

Aldo’s flat on his back, in a hospital bed. It’s where he’s gonna end his days.
Lived a life that was full, filled with sin and regrets, and some magic moments on the way.
But the cancer is strong, and he’s trying to hang on. You know it’s gonna get him in the end.
Hallelujah, Amen! Another death of a friend! There’s no way back, no, we can’t just pretend!

Looking for you, wherever you go…To tell you the truth, it’s the devil you know.
