Sweet Kate, the devil's at my door
He's begging me for more
Of what I have in store
Sweet Kate, who needs enemies
When you have friends like these
Love, loss and revelries
These walls have eyes
And there's ghosts in the paint
Betting on me
To fall
But I've got beggar's rights
So ante up, pony up young buddy
Ain't got a use for a whole lotta money
When you're gone
Ouus
There's still lightning in my bones
But sometimes it feels like no one's home
Yea the lights are on, but everybody's gone
But You never let me go
With your torch I can see the silver line the road
Sweet Kate, the devil's at my door
He's begging me for more
And I've nothing left in store
Sweet Kate, who needs enemies
When you have friends like these
Love, loss and revelries
Remember these few words please
The devil's on his knees
It was nothing I ever wanted
But lord knows I had it coming
On a comet, just a blazing
Like a bolt of machinations
Set me running
Everytime I'm feeling lazy
Ouus
I know, I know I drive you crazy
Sweet Kate, we were never nearly lovers
Never one without the other
They would say
What would they say?
If in bed with the devils where I lay?
Sweet Kate
I'm sorry for keeping you awake
