Demon Called Deception

I'm in tight with a demon called Deception

It's alright he's a-treatin' me quite well

I'm in tight with a demon called Deception

He's right beside me when I fail

To whisper words like "Brother, nothin' here is any good

See the birds they're a-droppin' like the star Wormwood"

And all I wanted was a little patch of green

We were peasants and the cotton was our king

And in the fields how I sing a prisoner's song

While Deception whistles right along

Right along

Charlie sang for a pocket full of pills

While Deception was a-clickin' his high heels

We're in tight playing seven one night stands

And Deception made me as I am

As I am

As I am

As I am

As I am

I'm in tight

I'm in tight

I'm in tight

Truth is I'm in tight

I barely saw the light

Just as it kicked in

Something saved my skin

Something saved my skin
