lyrics

D.W.T.D. (Dancing With The Devil)
By Ben Sefton

Chorus:
Everybody dances with the devil all their lives and we remain
Weary hearts with spirits of the rebel tempted by death and pain
Though self-esteem can never seem to settle
Still we try still in vain

Verse 1:
Felt all at once put at ease and in danger - what’s the plan?
Perched under crab apple trees with a gun in my hand
I came here to help you she’s teasing me
Guilt is such a bad friend
But don’t let my best guy know I was bluffing
I can’t resist your glow man you’re something
But nothing will fill this hole oh nothing

Chorus:
Everybody dances with the devil all our eyes showing shame
Weary hearts with spirits of the rebel – we’re disguised as perfect planes
Your self-esteem can fall to many levels
Scorch the skies til it rains

Verse 2:
Caught in the hallway she kissed me I’m sorry I’m an ass
Saw her nickname in your phone she means something to you man
I’ve just never had such a beautiful bird in my hands
But don’t let this ruin all that we’ve joked for
As she draws closer you start to smoke more
You asked me to help win her heart but I’ve kept what I received
