Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I was the Devil
I'd hang out in Blue Eye, Missouri
Where the water and the mountain collide
[Verse 2]
And I'd scare all the little children
And rumble around beneath the beds
Tell 'em all kind of stories
I can't help, but get them stuck in their head
[Verse 3]
Then I'd take out some of your livestock
You can blame it on the beast of the night
You know it was me
Same as you know wrong and right
[Verse 4]
If I was the Devil
I'd go and find your preacher man
Crusty and white hair
[Verse 5]
I'd tell him that hell is on the way
Scare him out of his skin
See the brimstone in his eyes
[Verse 6]
And then a band of fat white deacons
Would take him far away
That would be just fine with me
If I was the Devil
[Verse 7]
If I was the Devil
Well, I'd gather up all of your dreams
And drop them to the bottom of a black lagoon
[Verse 8]
And I'd steal away all your patience
Steal away all your pride
Leave you with nothin', but uncontrollable fear
[Verse 9]
And then I'd revel in my masterpiece
As I dance around with the night
Down in Blue Eye, Missouri
Where the water and the mountain collide
[Verse 10]
Mile upon mile, got no direction
We're all playin' the same game
We're all lookin' for redemption
We're just afraid to say the name
[Verse 11]
So caught up now in pretendin'
What we're seekin' is the truth
I'm just lookin' for a happy endin'
All I'm lookin' for is you
[Verse 12]
You came upon me, wave on wave
You're the reason I'm still here
Am I the one you were sent to save?
You came upon me, wave on wave
[Verse 13]
Wandered out into the water
And I thought that I might drown
I don't know what I was after
Just know I was goin' down
[Verse 14]
And that's when she found me
Not afraid anymore
She said, "You know, I always had you, baby"
"Just waitin' for you to find what you were lookin' for"
[Verse 15]
And you came upon me, wave on wave
You're the reason I'm still here
Am I the one you were sent to save?
And you came upon me, wave on wave
[Verse 16]
Wave on wave
Wave on wave
[Verse 17]
And you came upon me, wave on wave
You're the reason I'm still here
Am I the one you were sent to save?
And you came upon me, wave on wave
[Verse 18]
The clouds broke and the angels cried
"You ain't gotta wipe the floor"
That's why it put me in your way
And you came upon me, wave on wave
[Verse 19]
Wave on wave
Wave on wave
Wave on wave
Wave on wave
