lyrics

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.
