Devil Boy Lyrics - American Standard - Seven Mary Three

I slept through Easter yesterday 

Right through Christmas just the same 

The priest came up to me all up in arms 

He said, "Devil boy what have you done?" 

Hey Devil Boy 

We're going to blow your house in 

Hey Devil Boy 

What do you think of that? 

For Heaven's sake, it's only been 2000 years 

I can't wait any longer for you 

The Jesuits rolled in their tanks to my front door 

While the Capuchins held a love-in on my front porch 

The Augustinians kept to themselves, stuck their tongues out in a row 

They said, "Devil Boy, it's off to hell you go!" 

Hey Devil Boy 

We're going to blow your house in 

Hey Devil Boy 

What do you think of that? 

For Heaven's sakes, it's only been 2000 years 

I can't wait any longer for you 

And so I'll sit and pray for her to call me there 

And I'll burn that bridge a 1000 times, on the cross I bear 

Just to wonder if you're listening from a soap box in the sky 

To finally realize my price, was it you or I? 

Hey Devil Boy 

We're going to blow your house in 

Hey Devil Boy 

What do you think of that? 

For Heaven's sakes, it's only been 2000 years 

I can't wait any longer for you 

For Heaven's sakes, I'd give away eternity 

If you would come back to me 

If you would come back to me 

If you would come back to me 

If you would come back to me
