When the Devil comes blowing through your door You'll know there's trouble, and he's coming back for more You better keep what is precious hidden under the floor Or you better treat it so good it will never want for more But looking back in retrospect Did you ever really get what you'd expect? Trying to rectify, got lost a little further You've been trying to justify, find out how and where it came Devil was your angel, but it's not no more The Devil was your angel, when you weren't sure Do I tempt trouble to break through all these doors Just to put a face to voice which always home? To fight for what is precious, to know what's under the floor If I could treat it so good, I swear I'd never want for more But when I found my peace there was still mistakes However painfully aware every step I takeTrying to rectify got lost a little further Well, I've been trying to justify, find out how and where it came The Devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure To travel as my angel, there's always my whore Gonna take you back down I won't feel no shame Till my dreams are my own again Gonna take you right down, and I'll take the blame Till my dreams are my own own own again, here I am again Devil was my angel, now I'm just not sure To travel as my angel, there's always my whore Maybe you're an angel, tried to remember you're an angel Remember you're an angel, if you're not sure If you're not sure
