Daniel Johnston - Devil Town Lyrics






I was living in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh Lord, it really brings me down about the devil town

And all my friends were vampires
Didn't know they were vampires
Turns out I was a vampire myself in the devil town

I was living in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh Lord, it really brings me down about the devil town

    Daniel could sing the alphabet and I would cry.

  43. B.... J....

    Chicago's anthem sounds good...maybe Florida can borrow

  44. J.... ....

    Anyone else think of Derry, Maine when hearing this?

  45. e.... ....

    Here comes sxsw...

  46. J.... K....

    My cousin just kicked my cat and is trying to make me believe i hallucinated or fabricated it. What a piece of work. Etiquette! Thanks for making life kinda okay sometimes when i need ya, danny.

    J.... K....

    You need to kick the shit out of your cousin.

  47. H.... M....

    ive just heard this song in my dream like 20 minutes ago so had to listen to it again

  48. D.... M....

    no one like him; just completely original..and he suffers from severe mental illness. I think he is great, though execution of melodies can be iffy..but the harmony and ideas are top notch

  49. R.... D....

    Crazy, crazy bastard!!

  50. w.... t....

    I was livin' in a devil town
    Didn't know it was a devil town
    Oh lord it really brings me down
    About the devil town
    And all my friends were vampires
    Didn't know they were vampires

    Turns out I was a vampire myself
    In the devil town
    I was livin' in a devil town
    Didn't know it was a devil town
    Oh lord it really brings me down
    About the devil town

  51. j.... k....

    the walking dead brought me here years ago

    j.... k....

    how so ?

  52. S.... A....

    when i listen to daniel johnston it makes me feel that all the other music is shit

  53. N.... R....

    The word I'd use to describe this song: blissful.

  54. J.... ....

    Oh so true !!!!

  55. J.... d....

    Nacho Vegas me trajo aquí!

  56. N.... ....

    pretty haunting, ominous. I like it

  57. N.... ....

    Conor Oberst and Tony Lucca certainly tried.

  58. J.... R....

    Please disable all comments, including my own.

    J.... R....

    yes.. keep the peace. his music needs no commentary... :(

    J.... R....

    Even our own comments reveal themselves as vampiric in nature. (will I get a thumbs up? will someone expell some of their energy for me to feed on?)

    J.... R....

    @Mark Stewart sure

  59. C.... E....

    "Turns out I was a vampire myself..."

    Holy cow.

    C.... E....

    i know the feeling :-)

    C.... E....

    It reelly brings me down ...

  60. P.... ....

    San Marcos, Texas 78666

  61. z.... ....

    I absolutely love this and I don't know why.

    z.... ....

    Maybe cause youre a vampire

    z.... ....

    Perhaps you yourself live in a d e v I l t o w n

    z.... ....

    Raw honesty. People drain others, and so do you,

    Reliable narrator.

  62. S.... J....

    would appreciate it if y'all could check out my cover of Devil Town on my channel.

    S.... J....

    @Smokey Jawline just did. Nice tune

  63. T.... F....

    A true musical magician.

  64. H.... R....

    there are 666 thumbs up, oh gosh haha

    H.... R....

    well somebody ruined it i might as well finally like it.

  65. A.... L....

    It can be something as simple as this and it can sound beautiful. 

  66. K.... B....

    Bushwick  N.Y.

  67. J.... ....

    He found out about Satanism in the music industry waaaaay before it became overt pop programming

    J.... ....

    @GamerTribe Except satan is make-believe and the music industry isn't interested in satanism.

    J.... ....

    you do know he's a schizophrenic

  68. J.... P....

    Absolutely haunting and totally brilliant as well

    J.... P....

    Sorry you died man.

  69. B.... H....

    i didnt know they were vampires...

    B.... H....

    Bruh....

  70. e.... ....

    It hard growing up in a town like Austin Texas . You might end up a vampire yourself in a devil town .

    e.... ....

    @enog1200 he grew up in West Virginia, not Austin.

    e.... ....

    I grew up in Austin . I was referring to myself .

    e.... ....

    narage he was born in sacremento, californa but yes he did grow up in West virgina

  71. a.... ....

    This song used to scare me as a kid.

  72. V.... B....

    old footage was a nice touch

  73. S.... ....

    It's not a bad cover, but....this is better.

    Contrast Mad World. I like the NEW cover by Gary Jules over the original by Tears For Fears but both are still good.

  74. j.... s....

    love this song i got here from in the flesh clip so thanks a lot pal

  75. G.... ....

    In The Flesh advert brought me here :P Didn't have the bit about vampires though. Cause the show's about zombies.

  76. j.... ....

    Best version, sends chills down my spine love it :3

  77. B.... G....

    This is the best and scariest version of Devil Town

  78. R.... H....

    "The living flesh" advert send me here x3

  79. J.... ....

    There's something very haunting about this song. Conors cover is great but Daniels original version sort of stays with you in the most frightening way.

  80. f.... b....

    Lol love the song

  81. f.... b....

    Love this song true blood all the way

  82. A.... l....

    True blood advert awesome

  83. S.... J....

    Walking Dead

  84. y.... ....

    God I love this song!!!

  85. s.... ....

    No offense to Daniel, as I know he's the original artist that wrote this awesome song, but I think Bright Eyes version is better.

  86. G.... I....

    True blood advert...

  87. D.... C....

    i was really pissed off until i realised i was a vampire myself

  88. m.... j....

    same here lol

  89. J.... c....

    I love how haunting this is its used to advertise true blood season 5 on FX and I just had to own it WOW

  90. R.... R....

    What deep depressing song

  91. K.... ....

    No no no. This song belongs to everyone.

  92. C.... S....

    Creepy but love it

  93. F.... S....

    Yeh Daniel was on it!! He wasn't crazy, he felt how things really were/are and sang it as honestly and as heartfelt as he could.

  94. m.... ....

    exactly man, this song hit me so hard because it's so true, even though most people don't believe it or can't comprehend it.
