Demon Darling

You fell into his arms that night,

I watched as you gave in

To vanity and loneliness and all your buried thoughts of him,

And darkness overcame you as you tangled up in sheets

Oh, what a tangled web you weave; you’re so practiced in deceit

You’ve got a demon, darling; It’s hungry for the kill

And oh if you don’t slay it now, Perhaps you never will,

You never will.

You followed him out of the dark

To where your eyes could meet

And danced to music in your head and toe to toe you shared a beat

So easily you drifted into some adopted dream

Where nothing else existed out beyond your blinding street-light’s beam

You’ve got a demon, darling; It’s hungry for the kill

And oh if you don’t slay it now, perhaps you never will,

You never will

When you awoke he’d left you with the love you’d left behind,

And an olive branch around your wrist was all he left to ease your mind

You’ve got a demon, darling; It’s hungry for the kill

And oh if you don’t slay it now, Perhaps you never will,

You never will.
