devil in my backyard

I got the devil in my backyard

He’s waiting right there every time I go out Could close my eyes but it’s just too hard To look away when he is screaming so loud

Tellin’ me the clockhand’s spinnin’ fast

And beauty’s something that just doesn’t last Written on my skin: the chances lost

Pointing to the clock, the moment’s passed

But you know what

I get a little older

I get a little wiser

Maybe a little colder but I’m smarter now You know what

I know a little better

That Age/H is a letter (get it)

That can never ever hold me down

I got the devil’s voice in my head Whispering you’re too old to try and fail Clouding my brightest dreams in dark red Turning my hopes into a fairytale

I can feel the clockhand spinnin’ fast Tellin’ me to lay my dreams to rest Written on my skin: the chances lost Did I sell my soul for moments passed?

but you know what

I get a little older

I get a little wiser

Maybe a little colder but I’m smarter (in Produktion ein „Ding“) now You know what

I know a little better

That Age/H is a letter (got it)

That can never ever hold me down
