The Devil Told Me So

He looks in her eyes just like the telling is told
I walk to her side to see what she holds
With eyes of surprise our innocence sold
Every choice a beginning as the future unfolds
The devil
The devil
The devil
The devil told me so
The devil
The devil
The devil
The devil told me so
Knowledge is born just like the story is read
All my decisions go strait to my head
I make money and anger and labor for bread
I cover my nakedness with the dead
The devil
The devil
The devil
The devil told me so
The devil
The devil
The devil
The devil told me so
We walk through the wilderness in our crude clothes
I turn and I watch the gates as they close
She cries for the first time now that she knows
I cry for the first time now that I know
That I know
That I know
That I know
That I know
The devil
The devil
The devil
The devil told me so
