Demon Waiting

from The Power of a Hat by Gunnar Madsen

/

lyrics

There's a demon waiting for me
Down at the end of my block
He's drawing circles all around me
On the sidewalk with a piece of chalk

There's a demon waiting for me
He stinks of swamp and mud
He whistles music all around my ears
He stops my heart and chills my blood

Everybody
Says I'm crazy
But they don't know me
They don't know
Everybody
Who says I'm crazy
They don't know, they don't know!

Lift up his tail and smell his ass
That's exactly what he wants you to do
He'll have you smelling roses and carnations
He knows how to change your point of view

There's a demon underneath my bed
He laughs when I try to make love
When I'm sleeping he sucks out all my dreams
For the first time in my life I'm asking for help from above

Everybody
Says I'm crazy
But they don't know me
They don't know
Everybody
Who says I'm crazy
They don't know, they don't know!

There's a demon waiting for me
Down at the end of my block
He's drawing circles all around me
On the sidewalk with a piece of chalk
