lyrics

Ain’t no devils in this world, no devils in this world
But just say their names, you could conjure them to be
They'll torment you night and day, because once summoned they won't stray from your vision so
Be careful what you say

And there ain't no love in this world, no love in this world
But if you said those pretty words couldn't I just pluck some from a tree?
We’re messing with powers we can't restrain
Sparking fires not contained by our passion so
Be careful what you say

To negotiate a way along this cliff top path
You gotta hang on to your righteousness and hold tight to your staff
The fog is rolling in, it's a treacherous road
So pay close attention, you gotta share your load

There ain't no demons or romances that won't one day fade to dust
Without due diligence then everything we love will flee from us
So let me put you in the know
Before I lock it up and throw away the key
Be careful what you say
