  • Won't the devil guide your hand, for good luck
    To hold the honeysuckle rose, as she lies down
    Reading the paper, reading the world right 'round
    And her eyes record the sweet surprise of those
    Who died that day
    Leaving her breathless, leading her hand to the grave

    And Jane
    You're early
    Your life's work is dirtied by the
    Fools
    Who adore you
    Only to find, only to find you out
    They saw you
    Dressing in the backroom
    Now they'll pay what they owe you
    It's only small change, red on the green, green grass

    Won't the devil take you back for more
    To open closed doors
    And keep the good from the great
    Evil in equal, seeking to kill and create
    How grand? The milk and honey land
    Is on her tongue again
    Taste of the violence, trying to silence her head

    And Jane
    You're early
    Your life's work is dirtied by the
    Fools
    Who adore you
    Biding your time, biding your time to strike
    Surely
    The poison makes a portrait of your
    Face
    In the mirror
    Smiling with fright

    And Jane
    You're early
    Your life's work is dirtied by the
    Fools
    Who adore you
    Only to find, only to find you out
    They saw you
    Dressing in the backroom
    Now they'll pay what they owe you
    It's only small change, red on the green, green grass Writer/s: Christopher Cooke, Dan Ball, Duy Phimasset, Kristina Rhodes, Thomas Lane
