The Lady & The Devil Lyrics

Well the fork lies left and the knife goes right
There have to be roses and the linen is white
Once a stain becomes a plain
You've left the devil in
You are swimming with the river and you go with the beat
Light years are passing you are never indiscrete
Culture dictates what nature wants
Do you know no other response?

I cannot agree
With someone I don't see
You're still living in the 19th century
How can you feel free?
You're in love with this pattern and the pattern loves you
Ladies aren't open to what others do
Once they show their true soul's dwelling
The devil walks right in

Go and tell it to the porter that man mustn't speak
He's your lonely supporter when you play hide and seek
If you decide to give it a go
The devil alone will score
It's been fifty-five times and a few times more
That you put your mask down on your spotless floor
But it's all in vain you pick it up again
And the devil wags his tail

When I see you at night
I can feel you collide
You keep firing live bullets
You tear my hanging gardens down
I watch the world as it drowns
The sky will burst
