Jeff Buckley - Demon John Lyrics
(j.buckley/m.tighe)Say farewell, gnight, sonny-jim,In your defenseless, winning smile.What do you hope to win?And bliss face down, defended.Well, now stoned demon johnTheres no town the boy cannot belongWhy 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 deal, you called me here.You couldnt say that you were juicedThe night that you were introducedTo demon johnGonna take him with you when you go?Dance down slow. oh, way down.You cannot escape the bar-side angel dissectorYou undo you life with too much cocoon,Whos your protector?Dark is the city where the white girls walk by,Down below your eyes, just like fireflies.You call me here, come on here, follow me dear,Past cascades of rage and fear.You called me here.You couldnt say that you had been juicedThe time that you were introduced to demon john.Well, you knew you had to want to go , dance down slow.By the light of the sun, murder comesToday or tonightBetter get yourself and transcend it,Or burst of lightBlaze stars into me,While the love breaks through here and now.So, murder by the light of the sun.Please dont get too close to me.You said you are for real, its not pretend.All memories stolen, know this for yourself.How would you like to be the happiest man in the world?Behind the weathered field hands, whose blisteredPawsHarvest cut, for wedding clothes theyll never wear,Marching down a road that was never there.It takes place on a sunlit face and the backbone broken.Please bring us light, demon john, you demon john.Take him with you when you go.
