"The Devil's in the Details"
Written by Port Sulphur Band
Publication December 9, 1895

I came back for one last call
You stood laughing, watched me fall
Always selling something sweet
But the devil's in the details
And the devil's in me

Midnight calling willow tree
Watching empty wait and see
Screaming darkness memory
Oh the devil's in the details
And the devil's in me

Midnight calling willow tree
You will always come to me
Bind the heart, the memory
Cause the devil's in the details
And the devil's in me

You're dripping with ink
You're closing the door
Just try it you say
But I've heard it before

You're drawing the line
You're rolling the dice
I'll always be back
Cause we're bound in time

The devil's in the circle
The devil's in the night
The devil's in the water
Reflecting the light

The devil is calling
You'll get what you see
Cause devil's on fire
And the devil's in me

I guess now we draw the line
Light the match and start the fire
Embers flare up one more time
There's nothing left to lose
And there's nothing left to hide
