The Devil I Know

The lyrics are but new But this music is old Lovers of such are but few The lips are but different I have tasted this kiss before They are no better than Judas's There are but few flowers That never fades nor withers by the stretch of time Many are the twisting tongues False face, deceitful dogs of lying lips and hardened heart I know you lustful lovers of waxy feelings That melt away so soon The angel you claim to be was who my devil was When yet love was unripe After days of pretence professed And love lavished on lies She unmasked herself To paint ugly a once beautiful Picture of paradise Into a horrible hell You're the devil I know Stars with borrowed twinkles A moon for a single night
