Mungo Jerry - Demon lyrics

There's been a whole lot of trouble in the place where I've been It's bothered the king and it's upset the queen The knaves have been playing with the princesses' maid The jester's been running 'round the courtyard again. And I've been cryin', someone's lying I'm relying on my mind I'm not forgivin', I've stopped living There's a demon and it's gonna be stopped Because it's got everyone on the run. The owls are all hootin' and no one can sleep The shepherds are worrying 'cause they're losin' their sheep The soldiers are marching with their steel sticks of war People are runnin' and they can't take no more And I've been cryin', someone's lying I'm relying on my mind I'm not forgivin', I've stopped living There's a demon and it's gonna be stopped Because it's got everyone on the run. The icebox is steaming, the oven is cold The moon's turned yellow, the sun's turned to stone The windmill's stopped turning, the flowers won't grow The taps have stopped running and the clocks have gone slow. And I've been cryin', someone's lying I'm relying on my mind I'm not forgivin', I've stopped living There's a demon and it's gonna be stopped Because it's got everyone on the run. Ohhh … The icebox is steaming, the oven is cold The moon's turned yellow, the sun's turned to stone The windmill's stopped turning, the flowers won't grow The taps have stopped running and the clocks have gone slow. And I've been cryin', someone's lying I'm relying on my mind I'm not forgivin', I've stopped living There's a demon and it's gonna be stopped Because it's got everyone on the run.
