DEVIL TAKE ME DOWN
Music & Lyrics by Christy

I'm walkin' down Oxford Street
I just got off the tube
I came down here to find myself
I had nothing to lose
I tried so hard to make a friend
But didn't know what to say
I spoke to a man
He laughed at me
And then just walked away

The devil'll take me down
If I don't get some help here right away

I walked into a pub on Soho
I thought I needed a drink
Some woman whispered in my ear
She asked me how to think
I spun round to look at her
But there was no one there
Then I woke up in the alleyway
With vomit in my hair

The devil'll take me down
If I don't get some help here right away

So I walked out east to find St Pauls
I thought I needed a church
But a thousand voices echoed there
And only made me worse
So I founf myself a reverend
And asked him what he taught
He told me God's inside of me
I told him that's what I thought

The devil'll take me down
If I don't get some help here right away

Well I tried to keep a clean nose
But found it had turned numb
Now I make my money performing tricks
For tourists like a circus bum
The moral of this twisted tale
Is steer clear of wrong
Listen to what your mother says
And never sing this song

The devil'll take me down
If I don't get some help here right away
The devil'll take us down
If we don't get some help here right away
