TV On The Radio - Let The Devil In

Beg the bee's forgiveness as it's falling from your sleeve Watch its guts pump poison into sting Watch it reach completeness, see it fall asleep Legs above fold in eternal dream Oh that calls to mind a joke, an off coloring About these fools blindfolded, drugged, and raped and left laughing They let the devil in, he brought his pirate friends They brought a hunger for blood, and flesh and bone and skin So teeth left chattering, and tongues flexed to sing Got dressed up in so many fancy things Is it a waste of time, please tell me if you mind Me dipping into useless sentimentality A rant on how things used to be when this shit was free I answered my own question, I can hear the crickets yawning But in the back pocket of a discarded pair of jeans Is still a priceless ticket to the grandest opening So when the chariot arrives, you'd best enjoy the ride Cause when we get to heaven's gate, we're not getting inside Better beg forgiveness Better drop to knees Better find your ticket Before we join the bees
