The Devil Always Knows

He walked six by six by seven
To the Boulevard late last night
Looking for angels from heaven
With halos so loose they ignite
He bought round after round
And the shots all went down
So smoothly by red neon light

He drank sixty proof of whatever
His angels dared him to imbibe
Shot for shot, all together drink up
The Boulevard is lit and alive
He bought round after round
And the shots all went down
So smoothly by red neon light
Profound is the sound
When your smuggler stays down
'Cause the Devil he knows your delight

He had 600 counts of transgression
What's 66 more? so he thought
As always he turned to aggression
When he's smuggled more often than not
He bought round after round
And the shots all went down
So smoothly by red neon light
Profound is the sound
When your smuggler stays down
'Cause the Devil he knows your delight and your flaws
And the je ne sais quoi to exploit all of your imperfections

He stood six by six by seven
And familiar the face from before
He fucked all the angels from heaven
His dishonor has made him the whore
The mirror reflects
All his sins and regrets
Even through inebriate sight
Shipwrecked and inept
Is this really correct
I've been staring at myself all night
Astounded he's found
When he's found on the ground
And he never really left out the door
Profound is the sound
When the smuggler stays down
'Cause the Devil always knows that he's right
