Something's sleeping in the ground

Of my home town

A relic from before

Or maybe something more

From another time and place

A different fold in space

Somehow, some way

That boy got the devil in him

A couple long nights with strange women and too much drinking

A little bad blood that leads the brain to wayward thinking

I don't need what you've got, I've got what I need

But sometimes the beast has to feed

I won't be

Responsible

For what happens

If you don't leave now!

With a venomous eloquence

And predatory metaphors

I ride the Mobius Strip

To find just where it is I'm headed for

If I don't find the answers

When it all comes to an end

I'll jump back in the slip

And do it all over again

Something's sleeping in the ground

Of my home town

A relic from before

Or maybe something more

From another time and place

A different fold in space

Somehow, some way

That boy got the devil in him

He always seemed so close, no matter how far away

He gave up on the ghost, at least that's what they say

He tried to make the most of every single day

But he knew the end there would be hell to pay

He knew the end there would be hell to pay

He knew the end there would be hell to pay..
