In My Back

that little devil in my back says

that there's nothing that i can't do

that he is gonna put me on the right track

and i will never belong to you

i've seen the clothing in his closet

that i believe i'm supposed to wear

i'm like the water in his faucet:

floating with his despair

i hear them say that it's always been like this,

with angels living on the ground

i know that the reason they drop their wings

is you

that little devil in my back says

he can change all the things i've been

he is gonna put me on the right track

if i just open the door and let him in

now someone save me from his arms

by being who i adore

then he can't break me with his charms,

make me sleep on the hardwood floor

i hear you say that it's alright now;

he is gone

you know i fell and hit the ground

he knows that the reason i dropped my wings is you

and i hear them say that it's always been like this;

with angels living on the ground

i know that the reason they drop their wings

is you

that little devil in my back says

that there's nothing that i can't do

that he is gonna put me on the right track

that i will never belong to you
