[Verse 1]

In the dark, there's a hole

Where the rabbits go no more

There's a path to a room

Where a black cradle waits for you

And I cut your hair last night

I found the birthmark that you hide

That spells out the number of

The number of, the number of the beast

[Verse 2]

This is an omen, I'm sure

For darkness there can be no cure

Now I can put my

Finger on the patch of sky

That seems to be hanging over our heads

That sends hailstorms down on our bed

And I look up and wait for lightning

For lightning, for lightning to strike

[Chorus]

And I performed exorcisms

With alcohol and violent kisses

But the exchange of despair

My fingers tangled up in your hair

Won't keep the devil, the devil, the devil at bay

[Verse 3]

This is an invasion of body snatchers

They replaced me with a box of matches

Now I run red-headed through life

Prepared to burn down

We'll meet on our tricycles in the hall

To race down the corridors of our downfall

No glowing Christian crosses could make this

A movie our grandmothers would watch

[Chorus]

And I performed exorcisms

With alcohol and violent kisses

But the exchange of despair

My fingers tangled up in your hair

Won't keep the devil, the devil, the devil

And I performed exorcisms

With alcohol and violent kisses

But the exchange of despair

My fingers tangled up in your hair

Won't keep the devil, the devil, the devil at bay

And I performed exorcisms

With alcohol and violent kisses

But the exchange of despair

My fingers tangled up in your hair

Won't keep the devil, the devil, the devil at bay
