Devil's Work

歌詞

When you think I'm doing nothing And you feel up for a fight It's me you should be trusting 'Cause you know I'll get it right Won't you listen to my story How the Devil took my hand And led me to a bench and vise Where I made my stand I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away Well, I could have been a builder With muscles for a heart I'm making straight lines for you Or digging turf and sod Just look at that musician How soft his hands must be There is no intuition Perform it too like me I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away Oh, the power and the glory The pleasure and the pain That Scandinavian's got it made I'm buying stuff for debt When you think I'm doing nothing I'm still up for a fight It's me you should be trusting 'Cause you know I'll get it right Won't you listen to my story How the Devil took my hand And led me to a bench and vise Where I made my stand I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away Yes, I'm doing the deed I like, finish it some day Shoring up this house of god, while life it slips away
