If I Was The Devil/Wave On Wave Reprise
If I was the devil
I'd hang out in blue-eyed Missouri
Where the water
and mountains collide
I'd scare all the little children
Rumble round 'neath
the beds
Tell 'em all kinda stories
Can't help but get 'em
Stuck in their heads
And I'd take out
All your livestock
Blame it on a
Beast of the night
You know it was me
As well as you know
wrong from right
If I was the devil
I'd go and find your preacher man
Dressed in white
And I'd tell him
hell was on the way
Scare him out
of his skin
See the brimstone
in his eyes
And then a band of fat white deacons
Would take him far away
And that would be just
fine with me
If I was the devil
If I was the devil
I'd gather up all of your dreams
Drop 'em to the
bottom of a black lagoon
I'd steal away all your patience
Steal away all you pride
Leave you with nothing
But uncontrollable fear
Then I'd revel in my mastery
Dance around with the night
Down in blue-eyed Missouri
Where the water
and the mountains collide
I'd hang out in blue-eyed Missouri
Where the water
and mountains collide
I'd scare all the little children
Rumble round 'neath
the beds
Tell 'em all kinda stories
Can't help but get 'em
Stuck in their heads
And I'd take out
All your livestock
Blame it on a
Beast of the night
You know it was me
As well as you know
wrong from right
If I was the devil
I'd go and find your preacher man
Dressed in white
And I'd tell him
hell was on the way
Scare him out
of his skin
See the brimstone
in his eyes
And then a band of fat white deacons
Would take him far away
And that would be just
fine with me
If I was the devil
If I was the devil
I'd gather up all of your dreams
Drop 'em to the
bottom of a black lagoon
I'd steal away all your patience
Steal away all you pride
Leave you with nothing
But uncontrollable fear
Then I'd revel in my mastery
Dance around with the night
Down in blue-eyed Missouri
Where the water
and the mountains collide
