Devil Song Lyrics - Central Reservation - Beth Orton

When the Devil comes blowing through your door 

You'll know there's trouble, and he's coming back for more 

You better keep what is precious hidden under the floor 

Or you better treat it so good it will never want for more 

But looking back in retrospect 

Did you ever really get what you'd expect? 

Trying to rectify, got lost a little further 

You've been trying to justify, find out how and where it came 

Devil was your angel, but it's not no more 

The Devil was your angel, when you weren't sure 

Do I tempt trouble to break through all these doors 

Just to put a face to voice which always home? 

To fight for what is precious, to know what's under the floor 

If I could treat it so good, I swear I'd never want for more 

But when I found my peace there was still mistakes 

However painfully aware every step I take 

Trying to rectify got lost a little further 

Well, I've been trying to justify, find out how and where it came 

The Devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure 

To travel as my angel, there's always my whore 

Gonna take you back down I won't feel no shame 

Till my dreams are my own again 

Gonna take you right down, and I'll take the blame 

Till my dreams are my own own own again, here I am again 

Devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure 

To travel as my angel, there's always my whore 

Maybe you're an angel, tried to remember you're an angel 

Remember you're an angel, if you're not sure 

If you're not sure
