Alter Der Ruine - Keep the Devil Off Your Back lyrics

Hang your head low and don't make a sound Because he's watching, the devil want to pull you down, down, down Down in the garden where the wind don't blow Comin' in the night air, you know the Devil gonna show Sing low a sweet a song for the night You got to sing it for the sun, you got to sing it for your life Lust for the morning You Never loved so loud, walking on wildflowers, the moss, the crabgra** and an earthy shroud But the still nights hangs with dirt and whiskey and lye You got to keep on creepin' hard You got to keep away from his eyes (chorus) You got to walk, you must move away Don't look for the moon 'til the tree-line fades, 'til the willows sway You've got to quicken your gait Swing it wide to avoid the flies that will cling to you Until a reach fire or hang on His divine If your throat is dry don't drink from a well Because the water is sour, run through with what he wants you to sell In a midnight choir where the gra** don't grow He's there waitin' for you, the Devil want to see you broke
