Devil In My Life - Grace Jones

Speak of the devil and it will appear

Isn’t it a crying shame how you became

Isn’t it a crying shame how you became

the devil in my life

Isn’t it a crying shame how you became

Isn’t it a crying shame how you became

the devil in my life

Welcome in tonight, wide open arms

Freeze dried smile, fixed in a frame of spite

Drop your names just like a bomb campaign

Collaborate while being exploited

And we celebrate by drinking poison

Rolled back my eyes tonight, called you inside

Tied my tongue, tried to stop all your lies

I ask myself, who am i

Am i forever cast in your mold

Devil in my life, treading on thin ice

With your words so wise, always in disguise

Devil in your eyes, i’ve seen it in your lies

Slowly mesmerized, as i fall you rise

Devil in my life, treading on thin ice

With your words so wise, always in disguise

Devil in your eyes, i’ve seen it in your lies

Slowly mesmerized, as i fall you rise

Isn’t it a crying shame how you became

the devil in my life

Isn’t it a crying shame how you became

the devil in my life

Isn’t it a crying shame how you became

the devil in my life

Isn’t it a crying shame how you became

You’re the architect of my destruction

Tears that fell tonight, your power fed

We slit our wrist, but it was you who bled

Gathered your minions to tell us that we are blessed

No one even dares to suggest we are so powerless

Devil in my life, treading on thin ice

With your words so wise, always in disguise

Devil in your eyes, i’ve seen it in your lies

Slowly mesmerized, as i fall you rise

You’re the architect of my destruction

The implement of my corruption
