Devil’s Girl

Yesterday, I was on the phone

With a woman with my mother's name

Offering to meet me halfway between here and St. Louis

And I saw again the intimacy

That comes between strangers with stakes in the same crisis

It's evil how

It's evil how the best men I know

Are in and out of hospitals fighting some devils

Fighting some devils

Well maybe I am just the devil's girl

Maybe I am just the devil's girl

You tell me I don't go deeper than the things of this world

But you will never be as old

Old as me, old as me

And I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong

I should've held you like a mother and kissed you on the face like a lover

But I was wrong, I was wrong

And if you were really gone, I mean, like out of this world gone

I'd think I was a medium for you

And all of my songs, I'd think I was speaking for you

But for now, I chalk it all up to your influence

As I live out our dream for both of us

We don't need to talk

No, we don't need to talk

I am channeling you

I am channeling you

I am channeling you

Do you feel my vibe in Minneapolis?

It's strong

And maybe if you had just been cool enough

Maybe I'd have been stronger, maybe I'd have been stronger

Maybe I am just the devil's girl
