Lyrics The Wallflowers

The Wallflowers

The Devil's Waltz

These men down in the water they are not lost

There's poison in the arrows that come across

No you don't leave your post at any cost

There's more than just bottles washing up on the rocks

And your idle hands are what he wants

Your songs of pity are the devil's waltz

They are the devil's waltz

The devil's waltz

Need a busload of faith and a healer's touch

A whole lot of feel to know the work from the luck

The future's wide open just not wide enough

It ain't any wonder these kids are still getting drunk

And your idle hands are what he wants

Your songs of pity are the devil's waltz

They are the devil's waltz

The devil's waltz

No you don't leave your post at any cost

There's more than just bottles washing up on the rocks

And your idle hands are what he wants

Your songs of pity are the devil's waltz

They are the devil's waltz

The devil's waltz
