The Devil You Bought (live at Oslo)

from Heart Attack: Live at Oslo by Mercury Heart

/

lyrics

In your room festooned with notes of global tides
You sat becalmed like driftwood rotting from inside
In the artificial darkness that you made
You showed titans how to make their evil trades

Now… the running is through…
The devil you bought… wants his due
Now… There’s no escape
The devil you bought… has come for you

Now you’ve left on this chilly April dawn
The air tastes fresh and I wonder where you’ve gone
Someone said you were heading for the north
To see a soulmate though they didn’t sound so sure

Now… the running is through…
The devil you bought… wants his due
Now… There’s no escape
The devil you bought… has come for you

You talked to tramps and made them feel like they were kings
Make us love you and it was a special thing
But now the people you invite into your world
Look like prisoners who would rather be unstirred

Now… the running is through…
The devil you bought… wants his due
Now… There’s no escape
The devil you bought… has for you
