Capo on 8 A small town a little long in the tooth Old testament fireproof New York City's got nothing on you Except the glitter and the charm And the money and the view Then the Devil came around Mother Courage where are you now Sister Mercy run out of town Father Confessor drowning in the crowd Oh, brothers in arms, There weren't nobody around And then the Devil came down Oh, the Devil came down on you You little suffering town continue the chord progression throughout ..... A double shift, a birth and a death Four hundred dollars of crystal-meth Nobody thinks they'll end up here But the Devil's got a way of whispering in your ear And then the devil comes down Oh man, look at you go A yellow taxi's taking you home Don't know her name, couldn’t call it when you wake She's a comfortable mistake The kind you know you're gonna make When the Devil goes down Oh, the Devil went down on you And you're suffering now Three bars and a video store A gas station and a funeral home Some days you're cold to the bone Even when you're not alone Get Jesus on the phone Because the Devil came down Oh, the Devil came down on you And your suffering town
