Devil Song

by Camper Van Beethoven

on Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart (1988), II & III (1987)

Hey, wanna start a fire
One that'll never go out
Burn a hole to the center of my mind
Let all the bad thoughts out

This is not a love affair
This is something more complex
Hey, wanna start a war
I'm tired of this old one

And history is truth
And it goes 'round in circles
I'll burn down the house
There's a devil in the closet

And everything I say is true
And I go 'round in circles
I'll burn down the house
There's a devil in the closet

Hey, wanna start a fire
One that'll never go out
Burn a hole to the center of my mind
Let all the bad thoughts out

This is not a love affair
This is something more complex
Hey, wanna start a war
I'm tired of this old one
