[There’s A Devil In The Woods]

By the break of dawn, she left my side, that little girl so lost
She made her way to the trees who welcomed her embrace
Straight down the path that she chose, there were crooked eyes waiting for the sunrise

Who comes my way on such a dreary day, he said,
It gets so lonely here in the glade
her face was filling up with fear, but then he rose
And then he spoke of all the highs and lows of putting up a show

And that’s how, she fell under his spell
And that’s how, she fell under his spell
And that’s how, she fell under his spell
And somehow
There’s a Devil, There’s a Devil, There’s a Devil in the woods
There’s a Devil, There’s a Devil, There’s a Devil in the woods

He carried on with all those words
Sharp as a broken knife, whom the wound invites to bed
I was waiting for the light
And here you stand and so I’m done

With her toes still tingling from the rug
That had been swept from beneath her feet
The broken knife twists inside the open wound
And lord it feels so good

And that’s how, she fell under his spell
And that’s how, she fell under his spell
And that’s how, she fell under his spell
And somehow
There’s a Devil, There’s a Devil, There’s a Devil in the woods
There’s a Devil, There’s a Devil, There’s a Devil in the woods

And that’s how, she fell under his spell
And somehow
There’s a Devil, There’s a Devil, There’s a Devil in the woods
There’s a Devil, There’s a Devil, There’s a Devil in the woods
And it’s all on me

How much did he take?
How little did he leave?

Now the fucker stands and smokes a cigarette,
Shakes my hand and takes my girl away from me
and all this while I could see into his scheme
He took his time…. to steal her soul from me
that fucker’s going down, that fucker’s going down
that fucker’s going down because I’m the Devil in the woods
