The Day The Devil Lyrics - Laurie Anderson

The day, the Devil comes to getcha 

You know him by the way he smiles 

The day, the Devil comes to getcha 

He's a rusty truck with only twenty miles 

He's got bad brakes, he's got loose teeth 

He's a long way from home 

The day, the dDevil comes to getcha 

He's got a smile like a scar 

He knows the way to your house 

He's got the keys to your car 

And when he sells you his sportcoat 

You say, "Funny! That's my size" 

Attention shoppers! 

Everybody please rise 

Give me back my innocence 

Get me a brand new suit 

Give me back my innocence 

Oh Lord, cut me down to size 

Well, you can hide under the porch 

And you can hide behind the couch 

But the day, the Devil comes to getcha 

He's right on time, here he comes 

Well, I'm sick of hearin' 'bout your problems 

Yeah, girlie your breakin' my heart 

I'm the original party animal 

Hey hey, Babaloo 

So don't come bangin' your Bibles 

'Cause you've been laughin' all the way to the bank 

And don't give me those crocodile tears 

Cause you've been doing it for years I'm everywhere 

Sign right here Mr. Jones 

The day, the Devil comes to getcha 

He's a long way from home 

And you know he's gonna getcha 

'Cause you're stuck in the middle 

Everybody please rise 

Give me back my innocence 

Get me a brand new suit 

Give me back my innocence 

Oh Lord, cut me down to size 

Give me back my innocence 

Get me a new Cadillac 

'Cause when I get on up to Heaven Lord 

You can have it all back 

'Cause in Heaven, you get it all back 

In Heaven it all comes back 

'Cause in Heaven, you get it all back 

In Heaven 

'Cause in Heaven 

In Heaven
