lyrics

Its half past 5 and where are you?
By his side again, getting used.
He lays you down. You've been here before.
No matter what he says you agree,
no matter where he goes there you'll be.
Don't you ever get tired of being his fool,
being his liar?

I'm in the woods making deals with the devil again.
I'm on my knees, but I will never understand.
Self-destructive, self-loathing, I'm a hurricane blowing in from the ocean.
I'm in the woods making deals with the devil again.
The devil is my friend.

You feel dirty, just admit it. Remember,
you got yourself in it.
And you still continue to do it, you put yourself through it.
You take a shot you call him up.
He makes you smile you give it up.
Don't you ever get tired of being the fuel to your own fire?
Oh no? Oh no...Oh no.

I'm in the woods making deals with the devil again.
I'm on my knees, but I will never understand.
Self-destructive, self-loathing, I'm a hurricane blowing in from the ocean.
I'm in the woods making deals with the devil again.
The devil is my friend.

But hush, hush baby, it don't mean a thing...
We lay all night together but you'll never remember me.
And hush, hush baby, it don't mean a thing...
We lay all night together but you'll never remember.
Hush, hush baby it don't mean a thing...oh no no...
And hush, hush baby it don't mean a thing...
We lay all night together but you'll never remember me, you'll never remember, you'll never remember.

I'm in the woods making deals with the devil again.
I'm on my knees, but I will never understand.
Self-destructive, self-loathing, I'm a hurricane blowing in from the ocean.
I'm in the woods making deals with the devil again.
The devil is my friend.

The devil is in my head again.
