Devil Child

Your lips are a veiled message
Of promises and hate
You drew me like a racehorse,
Champing at the gate

Your eyes are blue like sunlight,
Your fists are red like steel
We kissed once in the moonlight.
I don't believe you're real

Your teeth are soldiers in a row
Just waiting for the fight
You always taste impeccable
You're always so polite
Flying like a kite
But never gaining height.

CHORUS
Hey helter skelter, hey bumblebee
I know I love you, do you love me?
You paint me yellow, you drive me wild
Can I become your devil child?
Can I become your devil child?

There is no ever after,
You said I was a lie
There's no such thing as Superman,
There is no perfect guy

There's no such thing as karma
You kissed me, in the rain
There's no such thing as making love
There's no such thing as pain

There's no such thing as happiness,
The thought will send you mad.
There's anger, fondness, passion, death,
Your life's a passing fad.
And you never get sad
The thought must drive you mad.

CHORUS
Hey helter skelter, hey trinity
You know I love you, do you love me?
You've made me trust you, you've never smiled
Can I become your devil, child?
Can I become your devil, child?

You told me you could cure me
Of ev'rything I am.
I stripped you of your powdered wig,
I learned you were a sham.

You said we were forever
You said we'd make the grade
You said the memories that we'd craft
Would never, ever fade

You once said you were dying
I kissed your culdesac
I felt like Judas, Brutus, Scott
I stabbed you in the back
I pulled a sneak attack
Without ever looking back

CHORUS
Hey helter skelter, hey jubilee
You know I love you, do you love me?
Your hairdo is perfect, your ringlets are piled
Can I be yours, my devil child?
Can I become you, devil child?
