The Devil Looks After His Own

Love is better

When you're blind and you can't see the cracks

I was the number one contender

Now my bitter tears won't leave no tracks

Nothing lasts forever

We used to paint this town red - now all I see is black

I know you think you're doing better

But the winner of the rat race is still a rat

Oh, am I speaking in tongues?

Have I got it all wrong?

With you and me

You and me

The devil cares for his own

So there's a place for us both

You and me

You and me

I see a vapour trail above me

I know the next move's mine and the odds are stacked

If I could tell you my story

It would only make you doubt everything we ever had

Oh, am I speaking in tongues?

Have I got it all wrong?

With you and me

You and me

The devil cares for his own

So there's a place for us both

You and me

You and me

Oh, every nest you've ever kicked

And every knife I let you twist

Feels like a wrecking ball

A wrecking ball

Oh, every nest you've ever kicked

And every knife I let you twist

You'll learn

Is it all for nothing?

Is it all for nothing?

Is it all for nothing?

Is it all for nothing?

The web you weave unravels itself

It's all for nothing

It's all for nothing

Oh, am I speaking in tongues?

Have I got it all wrong?

With you and me

You and me

The devil cares for his own

So there's a place for us both

You and me

You and me

Oh, every nest you've ever kicked

And every knife I let you twist

Feels like a wrecking ball

A wrecking ball

Oh, every nest you've ever kicked

And every knife I let you twist

You'll learn

It's all for nothing

It's all for nothing

The web you weave unravels itself
