The Lovely Sparrows - Devil In The Details Lyrics
I've got a feeling that the horse and the rider are the sameAnd if you whistle they'll come runningBut don't expect too muchOr you're gonna be disappointed'Cause the devil's in the detailsAnd he wants you to know he was framedFor kicking over the chair of a ghostWho never cared to shake his chainsOh, what a lovely islandWe've made for ourselvesRene, your country is covered in weedsAnd another one grows every time you speakI'm warning your beast to beWe are not as wild as we like to thinkAnd how can I be what she wants me to beWhen I can't even rest while I sleepOh, what a lovely islandWe've made for ourselvesI was beaten and I was tamedLike a lam who arrangedFor a fox to take her sistersFor supper in exchangeFor the details on the devilAnd the ghost of the planesA look was exchangedClothing rearrangedYou spoke of marriageI spoke of the seaWe glanced around the room uneasilySpoke of a flower and how she tamed youWhat of the cuts and the blisters she gave youTook an airplane to unravel the true nature of this beastBut your heart is like the prairie and you're married to the seaOh, what a lovely islandWe've made for ourselves
