The Devil Waits in the Park

from Kennel Machine Music EP by Mistur Whiskers

lyrics

The devil waits in the park
When you’re out for a jog
Smoking cuban cigars in the fog

You got no love for your job
And you got no love for your wife
They run you around like a dog day and night

Everybody’s at church worshipping god
But you’re not, you’re not

Everybody’s at church singing amen
But you’re out for a jog

Now the devil’s dressed just like you
‘Cept there’s blood on his jogging suit
And the devil’s running right next to you

He runs you right off the road
He goes home and sleeps with your wife
And your friends never know
That you died Sunday night

Everybody’s at church holding their hats
Welcome back, says the priest

Everybody’s at church singing amen
But it’s not you in that pew

The devil burns down the church
And he gargles the gasoline
And he drives away in a black limousine
