Got the Devil in my whiskey
Dæmons in my beer
You don’t need to ask me why they’re here;
There’s a djinn in my tequila
A kelpie in my wine
These are just some spirit friends of mine;
They come to stop me talking to myself
‘Cause if I don’t talk to them there’s no one else.
And when the glass is empty
You’ll find me here alone
Drifting like a ghost around my home.

‘Cause you really left me nothing
That I could hold on to
You cleared this house of every trace of you.
And as the nights grow longer
And the silence settles in
I feel the need to see my friends again;
‘Cause they don’t mind they’ve heard it all before
My spirit friends will help me up for sure.
But when the glass is empty
You’ll find me here alone
Drifting like a ghost around my home.

Sittin’ by the fire
Watchin’ a host of restless shadows on the wall;
Embers flare and embers fall,
And I stare into the flame
Wond’rin’ if I’m the one to blame

Got the Devil in my whiskey
Dæmons in my beer
You don’t need to ask me why they’re here;
There’s a djinn in my tequila
A kelpie in my wine
These are just some spirit friends of mine;
