I Married The Devils Son
Now he wants my last breath
I Married The Devils Son
Beneath a lot of lightning
he got down on one knee,
my inner voice was calling
he is the devil’s child, Jenny.
I ignored all those warnings
married him all in black.
I was a millionaire by 23 but then
I ran off with his cash from selling crack.
You know there’s no way to escape the devil,
his eyes always on your moves,
he chases me now in eternity.
24/7 I hear his black horses hooves.
I dye my hair in motels
burn IDs by the sink,
he finds me in mirrors
in the way shadows blink.
He smells like sulphur and leather
and something dead in the rain,
kisses me with a grin
like he never minded pain.
I once tried to drown him in bourbon
and forget him with pills,
but the devil just laughs
when a runaway thrills.
I spend diamonds on silence
gold on a second of peace.
I know when he’s always arriving
like bad news with no release.
He waits in the silence
between thunder and breath,
he won’t stop till he’s dancing
on my grave at my death.

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
