lyrics

It’s true what they say - it’s all fun and games
Until it ain’t
The devil is real, he’s been walking with us since the apple peeled
He knows restraint & when to wait, he’s on the tip of the tongue, he’s in the nails that she paints

It’s true what they say - it’s all fun and games
Then it ain’t
The devil is real, he’s the perfect pitch in the hog’s slaughter squeal
He’s just slow to reveal himself

Whispers and sideways glances
Billboards of tongue-tied savages
Lemons sweating under the ruthless sun
Idiots smiling having fun
Lemons sweating under the savage sun
Idiots smiling having fun
Yeah, we’re having fun

It’s true what they say - it’s all fun and games
Until it ain’t
The devil is real, hidden within, he is well concealed
There’s a beast inside these city walls, evil lies where my shadow falls

It’s true what they say - it’s all fun and games
Then it ain’t
The devil is real, he’s in her hot, hot breath, he’s the revolver’s steel
He’s just slow to reveal himself

Whispers and sideways glances
Billboards of tongue-tied savages
Lemons sweating under the ruthless sun
Idiots smiling having fun
Lemons sweating under the savage sun
Idiots smiling having fun
Yeah, we’re having fun

It’s true what they say - it’s all fun and games
Until it ain’t
The devil is real, he’s the blacklight in the neon night
He’s just slow to reveal himself
