"The Devil's Ball" Lyrics

Convenience is the devil's tongue
Honesty it's the devil's foreplay
Circus folk you say, time to slip away
It seems I've played this scene before you know and
Anything could happen
The night before the day of the dead
Boys and girls they've always said,
â#128##156#Arbor days, look forward to themâ#128##157#
Arbor days, cherish them
Though our parents' parents and our parents' friends always say,
â#128##156#Arbor days, deny themâ#128##157#
Our children's children and our children's friends
Sipping chocolate on the day of the dead
Confusion is the devil's cool
True love it's the devil's crowbar
A party you say, well I might stay
I'd love to make the scene 'cause you know
Anything could happen
The day after the day of the dead
Boys and girls, they've always said,
â#128##156#Arbor days look forward to themâ#128##157#
Arbor days, cherish them
Though our parents' parents and our parents' friends always say,
â#128##156#Arbor days, deny themâ#128##157#
Our children's children and our children's friends
Stealing chocolate on the day of the dead
Who spilled the wine? Every goddamn time
Easy come, but please don't go
Tonight is the devil's ball, you could come every fall
We'll dance and scream and burn 'cause you know that
Anything could happen
