I can see your statues broken, I can smell your raging doom
And there's cloven footprints all around your appointed sitting room
And if you're into making bargains by the window
As demons go better the devil you know
Debris from all your vices stacked up neatly on the floor
And I'm nothing worse than manuscripts that you skimmed through before
They only lock up lunatics in season don't you know
As demons go better the devil you know
Better the devil you know when you are lonely
Show me a fiend you trust when you are lonesome and blue
Remember this when crying on your pillow
As demons go better the devil you know
Better the devil you know when you are lonely
Show me a fiend you trust when you are lonesome and blue
Remember this when crying on your pillow
As demons go better the devil you know
Why pile on the misery, why add up all the pain
Your parasol of agony is begging for the rain
When deciding on the new dove or the old crow
As demons go better the devil you know
Better the devil you know when you are lonely
Show me a fiend you trust when you are lonesome and blue
Remember this when crying on your pillow
As demons go better the devil you know
