Lyrics

Knotted like a string
Wound up like a spring
Trying to shake the devil down

It’s a web you weave
That sadness cannot leave
Trying to shake the devil down
And put him back down underground

Half light burn away
To a brand new day
Trying to shake the devil down

A buzz is for the bees
The breeze is for the trees
Trying to shake the devil down
See he belong down underground

I trade ghosts for the lullaby
I see salvation in your eye
Shape shift me, walk with me, stay a while
Trying to shake the devil down
And put him back down underground

I wonder are you there
Now Spring is in the air
Trying to shake the devil down

Ah red young robin breast
Gotta do our very best
Trying to shake the devil down
And put him back down underground

I trade ghosts for the lullaby
I see salvation in your eye
Hold me close and let me sleep
Into your arms my soul to keep

Shape shift me, walk with me, stay a while
Trying to shake the devil down
Shape shift me, walk with me, stay a while
Trying to shake the devil down
Trying to shake the devil down
