From the recording Nasty Habits
Lyrics
Devils in the Details
Well, I work hard to get out of this hole
Though I work so hard, still I lose control
Nickels and dimes turn into twenties and tens
But if I look away for a minute
They’re just pennies again
I guess there’s devils in the details
Devils in the details
There must be devils in the details
Dancing all around me
Well, I woke up, I’s on a runaway train
And at the end of the line, I expect there'll be pain
Mile after mile, it’s all the same shit I see
I wanna get off
But it’s moving too fast for me
I guess there’s devils in the details
Devils in the details
Gotta be devils in the details
Dancing all around me
Dancing all around me
Six plus nine is seventeen, minus twelve is four
Y’see, simple math eludes me, and I just can’t keep score
Oh, my pockets are empty, empty evermore
Just the black holes for lost souls and pennies on the floor
where the devils dance, right where the devils dance
Y’see there’s devils in the details
Oh, there’s devils in the details
Yeah, I know there’s devils in the details
Dancing all around me
Dancing with the devils in the details
Oh, there’s devils in the details
I hate the devils in the details
Dancing all around me
