The Walkabouts - Devil In The Details lyrics

The devils in the dull details The devils in the coffin Of the details There will be no finer day To take my breath Survival is all parody Contorted and extorted For amusement Colossal youth on megaphones Please call us home We need to come home quickly Singalong Did this job make us crazy? Or we're we so screwed up We took this job? Play dominoes with knucklebones We feed the beast Till he's too fat to walk There are no devils left in hell There simply are no devils Left, in hell Deliver us from deliverance Deliver us, from all these awkward pauses You are as brave as you believe You are as brave as what you won't repeat You are as lost as you need to be You are as lost as what you won't admit The future is a slow retreat The future is a muscle you don't have Gonna shake tonight
