The Devil & Mister Jones
How did it happen?
How did it get this far?
How did it ever start?
And do you feel the same?
Mister Jones (hmm)
He drive on empty yeah (hmm)
Mister Jones (ooh)
Don't he drive it down?
There's juju raining down all around you, yeah
Makes you heavy mental
It makes you tense
Hear his name spoken in every room
Everybody saving up for
What he is selling
Mister Jones
Oh, every mark
Is looking out for
What he is selling, oh
What he is selling
Mister Jones, hmm
He'll tell your mother, hmm
That she can sing again
And he will sell her
His only melody
And yesterday
He made a blind man see, yeah
And then tomorrow
He'll take back everything
Careful standing by him, he'll lock in for good
Set you aside for later and won't forget
Now he got you working
Throwing dice his way
Everybody saving up for
What he is selling
Mister Jones
He got the bags
You can carry
Yourself to hell in
Oh, yourself to hell in, hmm
There's juju coming down all around you, yeah
Makes you heavy mental
It makes you tense
Hear his name, it's spoken in every room
Everybody's saving up for
What he is selling
Mister Jones
Oh, every mark is saving up for
What he is selling, oh
What he is selling, hmm
This world is fragile
We're aware
Quite acutely
And I know
All he wants
A chance to prove it
Absolutely
Mister Jones
Oh
Mister Jones
Oh, Mister Jones
Mister Jones
Mister Jones, yeah
How did it get this far?
How did it ever start?
And do you feel the same?
Mister Jones (hmm)
He drive on empty yeah (hmm)
Mister Jones (ooh)
Don't he drive it down?
There's juju raining down all around you, yeah
Makes you heavy mental
It makes you tense
Hear his name spoken in every room
