i went wandering
down those sullen streets
thinking bout my world tonight
caught a glimpse of my reflection
laughing bout the suicides
just laughing
tell me tell me please
is satan gonna hold you tonight?
i took a ride on that ferris wheel
drank until i could not speak
and all those people
on the streets below
wonder who’ll inherit the earth
NOT THE MEEK
tell me tell me people
is satan gonna hold you tonight?
i crept up to that strung out church
the preacher from his bath
full of gin
said i’d be happy to pray with you son
but first you gotta take a swim
so jump on in
tell me tell me preacher
is satan gonna hold you tonight?
i found myself
at the all night diner
hoping i could find me a friend
the waitress sitting at the counter
she’s just waiting for the world to end
PLEASE LET IT END
tell me tell me darling
is satan gonna hold you tonight?
