the air was cold and the light was dim
on the day the devil wandered in
with a plastic knife and a silver skin
oh the light! when the devil wandered in
and he spoke his name, and he sang the blues
and he ran
in every working man's hand-cobbled shoes
i can see over the sunrise
and i can hear what you can't hear
and i live a glorious half-life
between the insatiable sleep
and the thighs of love's long-lost quivering landslide
and i know you believe
i can see it in your eyes
the light of life
so we saw his face, and we felt his arms
and we felt, in any case
so very safe, so so safe from harm
yeah! he showed us love, and the stronger stuff
on the day the devil wandered in
and our leaders complained
and the elders proclaimed such danger
but we felt so safe
like colours in clay bathed in flames
