Brown-Eyed Devil

He's got barbed wire in his soul, lips like sugarcane A hand that you can't hold, his kiss'll take your breath away He's a rose with poison thorns, a trap set in the woods It'll snare your heart and tear your heart, yeah he'll end you for good It's that autumn wind in summer time, that whisper on the breeze The shadow in the corner where the clearing meets the trees He's the darkness in the night when stars are hidden by the clouds When your stomach twists and turns in knots and there ain't no one around That's that brown-eyed devil, devil coming for you He's a brown-eyed devil twisting on the knife That silver tongue bullet of sweet nothing lies He's a demon at the door and a stranger in the night He's that urge in you to take a chance when you switch off the light He's a brown-eyed devil boy and he'll take your life He's the chill that makes you ill when you thought it was just cold The writing on your gravestone when you're twenty-five years old He's the hope you had and lost because you've given all you got It's a war zone in your mind and you just end up get shot And that's the brown-eyed devil, devil coming for you He's a brown-eyed devil twisting on the knife That silver tongue bullet of sweet nothing lies He's a demon at the door and a stranger in the night He's that urge in you to take a chance when you switch off the light He's a brown-eyed devil boy and he'll take your life Well he comes off like a sweetheart to everybody else But the truth is he's a devil and he's in love with himself Everyone don't know, yeah, there's more than meets the eye He's a falling sun, he's every bit a wolf in sheep's disguise He's a brown-eyed devil twisting on the knife (twisting on the knife) That silver tongue bullet of sweet nothing lies (sweet nothing lies) He's a demon at the door and a stranger in the night (stranger in the night) He's that urge in you to take a chance when you switch off the light He's a brown-eyed devil boy and he'll take your life (Brown-eyed devil boy) He's got barbed wire in his soul, lips like sugarcane A hand that you can't hold, his kiss'll take your breath away He's a rose with poison thorns, a trap set in the woods It'll snare your heart and tear your heart, yeah he'll end you for good
