about

this song is about the devil, the chains we could slip, and my friends, and me too.

lyrics

in the other room
its ticking
oh its moving again
like it had a heart anyway
like it wanted to start this again
the face and hands
are so unhappy



but you're never really sure, no
You're never really sure
It could either go the one way or
You could find yourself holding on
to every sound to keep it down


I fear the time has started to slip
like the chain of thought still
locked to my hip
and all the stars conspire to whisper and show
and do they know?

hide your man
and hide your girl
underneath the devil
all over the world
at your command
at your command
you'll leave this place
and show your face
not caught at all

oh, oh.

it walked in through the door
What do i see that I haven't seen be
Fore, the heart don't know
It never cares

It steps in too slow
something about the way
that you move is hollow
your skin's too loose
it ain't your own

come on money in my pocket
Which little burnt desire will walk
up on it's knees and say I can't
no more

I'm not sure I'll find
at the end of love
something to show for it
but when the moment comes
I don't wanna do
what you've done and

hide your man
and hide your girl
underneath the devil
all over the world
at your command
at your command
you'll leave this place
and show your face
not caught at all

but in my dream she was
bodiless, she was
free in the room where love
was bound
she said
the very worst your devil
could ever do
was fall in love with love
and hide it
