Jeff Buckley - Demon John lyrics

(j.buckley/m.tighe)

Say farewellg'nightsonny-jim

In your defenselesswinning smile.

What do you hope to win?

And bliss face downdefended.

Wellnow stoned demon john

There's no town the boy cannot belong

Why did you come here?

Is it to excavate all your sins? boil within?

Slaughter like the daughter of the devil you send me.

I have to dealyou called me here.

You couldn't say that you were juiced

The night that you were introduced

To demon john

Gonna take him with you when you go?

Dance down slow. ohway down.

You cannot escape the bar-side angel dissector

You undo you life with too much cocoon

Who's your protector?

Dark is the city where the white girls walk by

Down below your eyesjust like fireflies.

You call me herecome on herefollow me dear

Past cascades of rage and fear.

You called me here.

You couldn't say that you had been juiced

The time that you were introduced to demon john.

Wellyou knew you had to want to godance down slow.

By the light of the sunmurder comes

Today or tonight

Better get yourself and transcend it

Or burst of light

Blaze stars into me

While the love breaks through here and now.

Somurder by the light of the sun.

Please don't get too close to me.

You said you are for realit's not pretend.

All memories stolenknow this for yourself.

How would you like to be the happiest man in the world?

Behind the weathered field handswhose blistered

Paws

Harvest cutfor wedding clothes they'll never wear

Marching down a road that was never there.

It takes place on a sunlit face and the backbone broken.

Please bring us lightdemon johnyou demon john.

Take him with you when you go.
