The Devil's Palace - Wild Beasts

This truly is the Devil’s crayon

Tracing your shoulder blades aglow like rayon

This truly is the Devil’s crayon

That all his children use to draw

In the darkened house of love

I felt like I was sleeping rough

The bath ran cold

But this is a palace and that was a squat

Baby, there’s have alls, there are have nots

I’m happy with what I got

This truly is the Devil’s answer

Carved from the tongue of this romancer

This truly is the Devil’s answer

That all his children use to kiss

The past pulls faces of those who vaguely resemble love

But weren’t close enough

And you remind me of the person I wanted to be

Before I forgot

Ooh, a palace

Ooh

Ooh, a palace

A palace, it’s our palace
