Devil Makes Three, The - Stranger Lyrics






Well, I'm alive like a sprouting seed, like the deepest roots of an ancient tree
I did not come here for the bread, no, I have come to wake the dead

They'll say tell us Jack what have you seen, where will you go, now what does it mean
Come on boys, you got to do it right, pray to the moon in the middle of the night

Come on Jack, what do you know, what have you seen, where will you go
Come on boys, I got to tell you true, I'm a stranger here just like you

[Chorus:]
I get high as the morning sky, this song I sing will never die
I get low as a gravel road, in a thousand tongues my story's told

I'm throwing heat like a funeral pyre, we can get along like a house on fire
This world she's cold, this world is mean, my heart is stone, my hands are clean

They'll say tell us Jack where will you go, what have you seen, what do you know
Come on boys, you got to do it right, pray to the moon in the middle of the night

Come on Jack what do you know, where have you seen, where will you go
Come on boys, I gotta tell you true, I'm a stranger here just like you

[Chorus]

Watch me roll like an iron wheel, I can stack the deck when the spirits deal
Time cannot hold me in this cage, I'm cheating death, I jump the grave

They'll say tell us Jack, what have you seen, where will you go, what does it mean
Come on boys, you got to do it right, you better pray to the moon in the middle of the night

Come on Jack, where will you go, what have you seen, what do you know
Come on boys, I gotta tell you true, I'm a stranger here just like you

[Chorus]

    Love these guys.! Just wish England had as much class and soul,

  27. R.... H....

    this is awesome although I had to restart it because of YouTube slapping an ad in the middle of the damned video. Why do they think that will endear people to their advertisers? I don't know if the band or their pay for their "Official" status but if they do they should complain about this.

    Saw them in Missoula last weekend, these guys are POSSESSED

    J.... H....

    I've become a fan of dark country music ever since I saw a playlist of this genre on my son'youtube channel. I love ! This a a down to earth gritty style of western music; part Americana , part alienation from whatever the status quo is . Harsh side of life, tough, yet resilient. Great music!

  57. r.... ....

    just gets better and better every listen

  58. f.... p....

    the best band since sliced bread

  59. f.... p....

    One of my favorite bands of all time!

    Where have you been DM3?! I've missed you since Portland 2007

  63. K.... H....

    Clean cut The Coug is always so weird to me. Love you guys!

  64. �.... H....

    Brilliant, been a big DM3 fan for along time.  They just keep getting better and better.  Can't wait to catch Pete at least at the Poet in Santa Cruz...

  65. A.... E....

    Coopers pose in the box, best

  66. S.... A....

    I love it!!! I'm so glad they made a video for this song.  The style really has TDMT etched in all over it.
