Silver Tongued Lyrics

(capo on 2)
Intro C-F-Dm-E-F (4x)
Employer of a leisured hand
The devil finds a job for every man
Stealer of the worn out soul
He bends but never breaks down, never folds
And hell victim any crime
Just to keep you in his sights
Sink the needle in the hay
And while you look for it hell steal your soul away
Ive never known a worst hard time
Assembling the cocaine into lines
Id never felt the hook before
When 3 A.M. comes knocking at your door
And the hunger that you feel
Cant be filled by any meal
And the silver on your tongue
Never meant that much when all was said and done
Intro C-F-Dm-E-F (2x)
Up before the inn keeper
Youll never find the devil sleeping in
And when you lie awake at dawn
Hell populate your feelings with his own
Ive never known him by his name
But recognize his face when he appears
He never seems to want that much
Until your willing powers in his clutch
And the hunger that you feel
Cant be filled by any meal
And the silver on your tongue
Never meant that much when all was said and done
