Lyrics Portugal. The Man

Portugal. The Man

The Devil

If his patience had its way, would that light come in?

Would they send him back to Texas; weathered face and crooked grin.

Where they sing, "Eeee." Oh!

Drives up to the next seat and onto the roots.

Drinking up the village,

And, drinking a little more

Eeee. Oh!

Found you the bed with a hammer by your side.

Sleeping out the day

Well, it's pounding on your head.

Where they sing, "Eeee." Oh!

There's movement in the air

Just above the neck.

Bodies overturned

And its been like this for days

Well, they sing, "Eeee."

Oh!

get back, motherfucker

pack your bags, motherfucker

move on, motherfucker

you're a dumb motherfucker

(oh, lord, where'd you go?)

if the devil had his way, would that light come in?

would they send you back, send you back, send you back?
