gods and monsters

The devil was on stilts this morning
 He walked out back to see
 The ten foot wine glass he used to ensnare me
 Well I wanted to burn down the barn
 Where he spent most his summer days
 Well I lit a match and watched the haystacks burn
 But the devil walked into the blaze
 GODS AND MONSTERS
 Well I lived in a small northern town
 Where scratch had always had a foothold
 But I always felt certain
 I could stop the infernal cold
 GODS AND MONSTERS
 He'd taken control of a woman
 That we all knew and loved
 But she didn't recognize
 The devil's hand inside her glove
 She had power and influence
 That she'd always used with care
 But slowly and surely
 Our lives became a nightmare
 GODS AND MONSTERS
