Say farewell, g'night, sonny Jim   In your defenseless, winning smile   What do you hope to win?   And bliss face down, defended      Well, now stoned demon John   There ain't no town the boy cannot belong   Why did you come here   Is it to excavate all your sins, boil within?      Slaughter like the daughter of the devil you send me   I have to deal, you called me here   Can't say that you were juiced the night   That you were introduced to demon John      Gonna take him with you when you go   Dance down slow, oh, way down      You cannot escape the bar-side angel dissector   You undo your life with too much cocoon, who's your protector?   Dark as the city where the white girls walk by   Down below your eyes, just like fireflies      You call me here, come on here, follow me dear   Past cascades of rage and fear, you called me here   Couldn't say that you had been juiced   The time that you were introduced to demon John      Well, you knew you had to want to go   Dance down slow by the light of the sun      Murder comes today or tonight   Better get yourself together and transcend it   A burst of light blaze stars into me   While the love breaks through here and now      So murder by the light of the sun   Please, don't get too close to me   You said you are for real, it's not pretend   All memories stolen, know this for yourself      How'd you like to be the happiest man in the world?   Behind the weathered field hands whose blistered paws harvest cut   For wedding clothes they'll never wear   Marching down a road that was never there   It takes place on a sunlit lace and the backbone broken      Please bring us light, demon John   You, demon John, take him with you when you go
