Devil in a Party Dress

about

"The world belongs to women. In other words, to death. But everyone lies about it." - Phillippe Sollers

lyrics

She's been walking the wall
Working her nights on the market stall
Nothing to do, nothing to sell to you
But the butt of her cigarette

And you've been growing a beard
Keeping it quiet for nineteen years
And she understands, but she doesn't want no man
She's the devil in a party dress


Oh the devil's walking
Down the hatch and down your talking
Reckless road pass me by
Yeah the mean street's out there
Children laugh and go about their day
But you won't be asked to play anymore


And if you asked for a name
If she could tell you then she might say
'We are many, and sure we're friendly
But I'll never be the one that got away'

Nobody expects the opposite sex to turn T Rex
But when they do
It's all that you can do
To stay still and pray she walks away


Oh the devil's walking
Down the hatch and down your talking
Reckless road pass me by
Yeah the mean street's out there
Children laugh and go about their day
But you won't be asked to play anymore


Believe me brother, she's not real
They don't make 'em like they do in your dreams
Believe me brother, she's not real
They don't make 'em like they do in your dreams


Oh the devil's walking
Down the hatch and down your talking
Reckless road pass me by
Yeah the mean street's out there
Children laugh and go about their day
But you won't be asked to play anymore

Son, you're chasing Judas
Chaplain walks in disapproval
Still the dead got it good
Move to California
Let her have her moment for tonight
In the morning you'll feel right
And let the devil walk again
