devil don’t cry (string quartet version)

[Verse 1: David Gunn]

So I’m sittin' here with ghosts again some are women mostly men

Telling me of times they have had

And I’m fantasizing about a hole in the ground

How and where I’m gonna lay myself down and still die at 27 like we planned

Then she saw the look in my eyes

And began to sing a song I won’t describe

"In another life, we’ll be king and queen you and I"

Then she told me devil don’t cry

Devil don’t cry, don't cry

I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die

But “God needs an enemy and I need a guy”

And she told me devil don’t cry

At least not tonight

And I’m sittin' alone again

All my friends are with their friends

Thinking of times I have had

And I’m fantasizing about a hole in the ground

How and where I’m gonna lay myself down and I find a knife in my hand

Then she saw the look in my eyes

And began to sing a song I won’t describe

"In another life, we’ll be king and queen you and I"

Then she told me devil don’t cry

Devil don’t cry, don't cry

I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die

But “God needs an enemy and I need a guy”

And she told me devil don’t cry

Devil don’t cry, don't cry

I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die

But “God needs an enemy and I need a guy”

And she told me devil don’t cry

Tonite let’s not pretend a thing

This earth and its creatures are the ugliest we’ve seen

And the human machine cannot contain this love

So we die let’s just meet at our place up above

Devil don’t cry, don't cry

I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die

But “God needs an enemy and I need a guy”

And she told me devil don’t cry

And she told me devil don't cry
