The Devil Came to Me

Well, the devil came to me
Said "You're not strong, you're not strong
You're strong enough, you'll never carry on"
Well, the devil came to me
Said "You're not strong, you're not strong
You're strong enough, you'll never carry on"
Well, the devil came to me
Said "You'll be lonely
You'll be lonely
And you'll see your own true happiness if only"
Well, the devil came to me
Said "You're not strong, you're not strong
You're strong enough, you'll never carry on"
So I said to the devil
Yeah, I said to the devil
Well I looked him in his bright blue eyes, and I said -
(You've got to listen to get the rest!)

Price of Pressing On
03:54
|

Well, I’m lonely, but I’m not going out
Locking myself down right here til we know what it's all about
And I don’t know just how much longer I can carry on
But I know it’s just the price of pressing on
Well, I’m weary, but I’m not giving in
To the peddlers of salvation or the politics of sin
They tempt you with normality and with the promise nothing’s wrong
But we know it’s just the price of pressing on
So through another morning with a mask upon my face
My bleary eyes searching for a novel kind of grace
Because we know a new world’s just about to dawn
And we know it’s just the price of pressing on
