Avett Brothers, The - Satan Pulls The Strings Lyrics






Baby's in the cradle, Mama's in the bed
Sparrow's on the windowsill and the devil's in my head.
Devil's in my head mama, devil's in my head
Baby's in the cradle and the devil's in my head

When the winter yields to summertime
The whip-poor-will she sings
My heart is in the puppet box and Satan pulls the strings
Satan pulls the strings mama, Satan pulls the strings
My heart is in the puppet box and Satan pulls the strings

Well the front beat's in my brother, Lord
And the back beat's in me
God is in the song and the devil's in my feet
Lord, devil's in our feet, mama devil's in our feet
God is in the song and the devil's in our feet

Mama's cooking something up, serving to us all
Satan's ringing in now and I gotta take the call
Gotta take the call, boys, gotta take the call
Satan's ringing in now and I gotta take the call
Gotta take the call, boys, gotta take the call
Satan's ringing in now and I gotta take the call

    Good to see Johnny Depp trying new things. He's really rockin' that stand up bass.

  2. M.... M....

    Not as good without the electric bass on the verse. Still like it, though.

  3. U.... I....

  8. B.... ....

    Never hear about these guys anymore.

    B.... ....

    Buelligan88 do what? They are in the music news all the time. New album due out this year and they still cover the previous album True Sadness until the new hits. Google TAB if you don't believe me. Avett Nation is growing stronger every day

  9. k.... H....

    they have a passion for their music. heart and soul. like Chris Willis art . a lot of passion and soul.

  11. S.... ....

    this should be on preacher, great track

  12. A.... H....

    Honestly....I liked it better when it was just 3 of them.  I saw them before they went more mainstream and I enjoyed it much better. I've seen them 4 times and 3 times was before they got bigger like they are now.

    A.... H....

    I feel that way about Nahko and Medicine for the people......they're still good just not the same

  13. L.... P....

    "A banjo in hand make a very fine man!"

It is hard to explain ,I don't know if it's there words in the songs or if it's because they pull you in and make you want to follow them and then your lost in there web and you like it!

  14. H.... U....
