a.p. clarke – what the devil knows lyrics

[verse 1]
for the lies i have told, and the debts i have owed, i walked that midnight road
with no regret and no blame, and nothing to my name, to the crossroads i came
and i lit a fire in an old busted tire and i summoned the devil down
and he pulled out his knife, and i pulled out my gun, and i shot the devil down

[chorus]
oh joe don’t you go, down to the crossroads tonight
oh joe don’t you know, what the devil knows?

[verse 2]
and he fell to the ground, without any sound, and lay there in the dark
i took his life, then i took his knife, and i cut out his heart
and i sat and i cried, threw his bones in the fire, and they burnt like coal
i cooked his heart in the flames, i finished the game, and i ate the devil’s soul

[chorus]
oh joe don’t you go, down to the crossroads tonight
oh joe don’t you know, what the devil knows?

[verse 3]
the fire burnt low, the embers did glow, i was joined by a figure in white
she said, “no more tears, you have nothing to fear, from the night or from the light”
we made love on the ground, the sky whirled around, and she left without a sound
with nothing to hide, and god on my side, i decided to stay a while
[chorus]
oh joe don’t you go, down to the crossroads tonight
oh joe don’t you know, what the devil knows?
