Devil's Arms

from Dust Windows by Kingsley Flood

lyrics

Well old Ms. Carter looked so pretty in the dime store spending Bens
The preacher round the corner’s crying foul, and yeah I understand.

Well old Ms. Carter sang so sweetly, her sweetness sent to me.
Well I’ve never heard that song but tonight, I’ll revel in her key.

Late last night, with sins to spare, I wore my shoes and combed my hair.
I felt alright and brought to bear.
I’d find my place in line but the devil’s arms got tired.

Well Sunday morning they just kept threatening and I said “what a sight!”
Preacher’s got a dictionary in his left hand and a wallet in his right.

Late last night, with sins to spare, I wore my shoes and combed my hair.
I felt alright and brought to bear.
I’d find my place in line but the devil’s arms got tired.

Well old man preacher I know my history and I hear you hearing me.
I saw you sighing, staring, making eyes, so why not go and see?

Late last night, with sins to spare, I wore my shoes and combed my hair.
I felt alright and brought to bear.
I’d find my place in line but the devil’s arms got tired.
