Devil's Girl

Jess Williamson

Compositor: Jess Williamson

Yesterday, I was on the phone
With a woman with my mother's name
Offering to meet me halfway between here and St. Louis
And I saw again the intimacy
That comes between strangers with stakes in the same crisis

It's evil how
It's evil how the best men I know
Are in and out of hospitals fighting some devils
Fighting some devils

Well, maybe I am just the devil's girl
Maybe I am just the devil's girl

You tell me I don't go deeper than the things of this world
But you will never be as old
Old as me, old as me

And I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong
I should've held you like a mother
And kissed you on the face like a lover
But I was wrong, I was wrong
And if you were really gone
I mean, like out of this world gone
I'd think I was a medium for you

And all of my songs, I'd think I was speaking for you
But for now, I chalk it all up to your influence
As I live out our dream for both of us
We don't need to talk
No, we don't need to talk

I am channeling you
I am channeling you
I am channeling you

Do you feel my vibe in Minneapolis?
It's strong
And maybe if you had just been cool enough

Maybe I'd have been stronger
Maybe I'd have been stronger
Maybe I am just the devil's girl
