Lou Kelly - Devil in a Saint Lyrics

Evil wears white
And evil sleeps at night
And evil wished me well
And evil don't live in Hell

It follows you wherever you go
It hides in the crop and flies with the crows
It's as real as the rain is wet
It's as real as the stink in the sweat

Oh, no

It's the devil in a saint
It's everything it says that it ain't
It's the evil in the good
It breaks my heart like it should
Yeah, it's the devil

It hugs me like a snake
Drags me to the bottom of a lake
It's as kind as a cat is feral
It's as cruel as a bullet in a barrel

It follows you wherever you go
It hides in the crop and flies with the crows
It's as real as the rain is wet
It's as real as the stink in the sweat

Oh, no

It's the devil in a saint
It's everything it says that it ain't
It's the evil in the good
It breaks my heart like it should
It's the living in the dirt
I feel so blessed when it hurts
Yeah, it's the devil
