clutch - the devil and me; live full fathom five

Lyrics

"These lyrics are imagined from two viewpoints. The first is God as he sits on his front porch giving his old buddy Lucifer a hard time for double-crossing him. The other is from the dark lord himself. He realizes that he fucked up, and he's got to hit the road. Oscar Hernandez and Lee Brintnall provided clap track. Killer claps... the best."

The Devil & Me

The devil and me had a falling out.
Violation of contract beyond a shadow of a doubt.
Wherever he go, whomever he meet.
He got to cross my house on the other side of the street.

And you know thats the truth. Now heres the part that the devil sings while hes
hanging his head in a hard rain:

Where Im headed, I dont know.
Down this path, we all go.
Grace and luck, blood from stone.
Got nowhere to call my home.

What comes around goes around three-fold or more.
Now you cant get off of that killing floor.

Im going back to Tennessee, back where I come from.
Gonna head back to Beale Street, Beale Street and Oblivion.

The devil and me, bad blood and beef.
An undisciplined child, a liar and a thief.
Its a low down shame, we were the best of friends.
But I suppose all good things got to come to an end.

What comes around goes around three-fold or more.
Now you cant get off of that killing floor.

Im going back to Tennessee, back where I come from.
Gonna head back to Beale Street, Beale Street and Oblivion.
Im going back to Tennessee, back where I come from.
Gonna head back to Beale Street, Beale Street and Oblivion.

Gotta get off of that killing floor.

  • I have the original studio version on my channel..if anyone wants to hear the original just check it out.

  • its about beef.

  • @hairmonster12 Reasonable interpretation... according to Neil though, its actually God talkin bout how sorry of a guy the Devil is.

  • i always imagined it was about a man who sold his soul, but then the devil broke the contract, and now has to pay the guy back and doesnt want to.

  • I like the original sound. Nice Rock-n-Roll feel. Love the guitar, especially at the bridge, pretty intense... The more I listen to his voice, the more I like it, he's got a really unusual, raspy-like tone..... Great song!!!

  • great song

  • Thanks for posting the lyrics -- sweet song I love this album!!!!
