The Devil & Mister Jones

The Devil & Mister Jones - Spoon

Lyrics by：Britt Daniel

Composed by：Andrew Cashen/Britt Daniel

How did it happen

How did it get this far

How did it ever start

And do you feel the same

Mister Jones

He drive on empty yeah

Mister Jones

Don't he drive it down

There's juju raining down all around you yeah

Makes you heavy mental

It makes you tense

Hear his name spoken in every room

Everybody saving up for

What he is selling

Mister Jones

Oh every mark

Is looking out for

What he is selling

What he is selling

Mister Jones

He'll tell your mother

That she can sing again

And he will sell her

His only melody

And yesterday

He made a blind man see yeah

And then tomorrow

He'll take back everything

Careful standing by him he'll lock in for good

Set you aside for later and won't forget

Now he got you working

Throwing dice his way

Everybody saving up for

What he is selling

Mister Jones

He got the bags

You can carry

Yourself to hell in

Oh yourself to hell in

There's juju coming down all around you yeah

Makes you heavy mental

It makes you tense

Hear his name it's spoken in every room

Everybody's saving up for

What he is selling

Mister Jones

Oh every mark is saving up for

What he is selling

What he is selling

This world is fragile

We're aware

Quite acutely

And I know

All he wants

A chance to prove it

Absolutely

Mister Jones
