Tom Waits - Way Down In The Hole

--------- --------------------



``Well, I feel we should move right into the religious material.''



When you walk through the garden,

You've gotta watch your back.

Well, I beg you're pardon;

Walk the straight and narrow track.



When you walk with Jesus,

He's gonna save your soul.

You've got to keep the Devil;

Well, you've got to keep him down in the hole.



He's got the fire

people,

he's got the fury

at his command.



Oh, you don't have to worry

Hold on to, hold on to... Jesus hand

we'll all be safe from Satan

when the thunder, when the thunder starts to roll.



We've got to keep the devil,

keep him on down

down in the hole.



That red horned, lousy, low life, underneath our boots..

Praise the Lord.

I don't know what it is.

Two dollar - that demonmiester

Three dollar - that prince devil

Just see if you can come up with a figure that matches your faith



He said, how much has Jesus done for you?

And we got to go in,

with our hydrolic system,

and blast him out.



People, can I get an amen?

All the angels, pledge God to sing;

all about Jesus mighty sword.

And they'll shield you with their wings

People, they'll keep you close to the Lord.



Now don't pay heed to temptation,

For his hands are so cold.

You've got to keep the devil,

keep him on down in the hole.



Down in the hole

Down in the hole

Down in the hole



People, I've got to speak about something...

Can I get an amen?

Can I get an halaluja?

Praise the lord.

God bless you.



The Lord is a very very busy man.

I'll do what I can.

But Jesus is always going for the big picture...

But he's always there to help us out of the little jams too.



Down in the hole

Down in the hole

Down in the hole

Keep him down in the hold



You've got to keep the devil down in the hole

You've got to keep the devil down in the hole

Keep him on down in the hole

Down...

down, down, down mighty devil

I send you down below my boots.

down, down, filling my live with anger and strife

Go down mighty devil.

Find a place to live.

Down down down...
