devil's work is a simple blues on acoustic guitar with a beer bottle cap shaker for a drum track.
lyrics
these days my eyes seem kind of hollow
there ain't nothing new under the sun
endless winter nights that end in sorrow
the devil's work is never done.
bitter little pill so hard to swallow
holding on to the thread that keeps me from
coming undone
oh well oh well better days tomorrow
the devils' work is never done
i grew up under someone's thumb
at sixteen years old I left my home
it doesn't matter where I go
I'm always the one that nobody knows
the devil's work is never done.
