Demons Dig Doing Me Dirty
Well, they scratch my poor back and it draws forth much blood
But some earth from the grave and fresh urine make mud
Which I slap on my welts to ease up on the pain
And resolve to forever from "Ouija" refrain.
But those angels all bore me and won't stop to talk
When I plead for their time they will never not balk
Gotta Go's the excuse as they flee fast away
There's no word I can speak to entice them to stay.
So it's not long before I shall fling myself back
To the sharp-nailed ones whose foul hearts are all black
Now, they only have gender at moments they choose
But I never give up; I mean, what's there to lose?
So, I'm wracking my brains to come up with a plan
To entice the dark beings who torment this poor man.
I could offer them something they'd like in return
But it can't be my soul, 'cause for that I would burn.
It is quite the conundrum that faces me here
To obtain what I want without living in fear
Of my karmic entrapment in lives yet to come
For possessing the stones to ask demons for some.
Now, don't ever advise me to keep with my kind
I have already tried that, and what did I find?
That a woman's quick tongue is the sharper by far
Than the talons which gave me so lurid a scar.
