lyrics
There’s a man with no face tracing his hand on my baby’s door,
No one knows where he’s from, no one knows his name.
There were guards at the gates with hounds by their sides,
But they let the man through with a wink and a smile,
And it’s high time they paid.
We ease our way through screams when the sun goes down,
We scare ourselves back to sleep when the sun goes down,
There’s nothing you can do,
There’s nothing you can say,
When the devil comes to ruin your life.
The mark that he left is the talk of the town,
The sound that she made echoes through the dark with each kink in his step,
As he walks away he turns to say,
“I expect you’ve heard of me, darling. My darling, it’s high time you prayed.”
We ease our way through screams when the sun goes down,
We scare ourselves back to sleep when the sun goes down,
There’s nothing you can do,
There’s nothing you can say,
When the devil comes to ruin your life.
I will stay with you.
“Stay with me.”
