She said, baby where did we go wrong?
I left her crying with the red dress on.
We were drunk at the Rail and she was shaking her tail,
and in the morning when I woke I was gone.
And it's all, it's all about it.
It's all, it's all about it.
Don't you ever doubt it.
If you try to be mine then you'll be wasting your time,
and you'll be drinking to that same old song.
I won't be hanging around, I'm heading up-town.
I left her crying with the red dress on.
I left her crying with the red dress on.
I said, baby where did we go wrong?
I left her crying with the red dress on.
Be my queen for the night, make this sinner feel right.
A lonely king just a' chasin' your pawn.

Said, she lives downtown, downtown on Whisky.
And she's always around. Looking for that man.
And if you ever been down, you been down on Whisky.
She's trouble boy, you gotta get it while you can.
She broke you in a day. Ate up all your pay.
Dirty clothes and a powdered nose.
Ain't no more to say.
But we all gonna drown, gonna drown on Whisky.
Ain't no joke, gotta get it while you can.
Whisky, don't let it steal your soul.
Whisky, but I'm on a roll.
Whisky, drinkin' crown with pops
Whisky, hide it from the cops.
Whisky, Bushy on ice.
Whisky, an Irish paradise.
Whisky, I shoot it like a gun.
Whisky, I said "Oi son!"

It's an empty place to wander.
Round the dark side of the street.
Don't give a damn who you are, don't ever take it too far.
Don't take your lips up off her feet.
And you wonder how she does it? Can she close her eyes at night?
She's the Devil in the details, digging with her deep nails.
Keeping you locked up tight.
He said, it's fine, most all the time.
But I don't never let it leave my mind.
And I wake every morning bound for trouble hanging around at night.
No there ain't nothin' gonna ease my mind.
It's the Devil in the details.
Oh the Devil, she's a woman with evil in her eye.
It don't take red hair, to make your lady fair,
Really cut you down to size.
She'll leave you with the footprints on your new suit.
Where she kicked you to the curb.
Drag you around, through the whole damn town,
'cause you ain't no kin to her.
She said, he's fine, most all the time.
But he don't never let it leave his mind.
And he wakes every morning bound for trouble hanging around at night.
No there ain't nothin' gonna ease his mind.
It's the Devil in the details.
She's digging your grave early. Just to let you know it's done.
Don't make a fool of yourself. There's always somebody else.
You really thinking you're the only one?
But really, there's many more before you.
She got a suitcase full of bones.
Tiny red dress will leave your mind in a mess,
and you'll be wishing that you're alone.
'Cause it ain't fine, even half the time.
If you can't never let it leave your mind.
And you wake every morning bound for trouble hanging around at night.
No there ain't nothin' gonna ease your mind.
It's the Devil in the details.

Freaks and Foes, forgive your faults.
Let troubles go and embrace the waltz.
She rides waves of shadows.
The kind that I love to lick.
Like a flame that could ignite a brick.
Dark rests them light scrolls in peace.
As she cracks away with her whip of deceit.
For I am the looser, and I am the creep.
No water in my sails baby.
For the wind blows stronger every day,
and I remain, buried.

She don't care if you're gonna loose it downtown
She don't care if you're gonna get it right.
She don't care if you're gonna burn 'em all down.
She don't care if you're gonna let it ride.
She'll make you feel like Lucifer's been yanking on your tail.
She'll chew you up, and spit you out, and pick you up from jail.
And she don't care if you're the square down at the Freakers Ball.
She don't care 'cause she don't need 'em all.
