The Devil Makes Three - Sweeping lyrics



Red carpet crying baby blue
Nothing that crosses your lips is true
You’ll be philosophizing, or criticizing
Until your face turns blue

And while you’re sitting in your ivory tower high
All those diggers in those ditches just wither and die
Drinking up all those sweet tears that you cried
Cause you know its’ getting so damn dry outside

While you’re sitting inside
with your feet up by the fire
We’ll be sweeping
I will be sweeping
The steps of your empire
Yeah we’ll be sweeping
I’ll be sweeping
The steps of your empire

Think about your hands, how they’ll never hammer nails
And how you’ll never spend a night inside that Arco jail
How you’ll never feel the fallin’ of the rain on the hill
Your skin will forever grow so pale

And it ain’t like there’s a master or a slave
No there isn’t anyway that you could ever behave
Aint’ like you’re gonna recognize on some beautiful day
No, you just got to pay all those debts that you made

While you’re sitting inside thinking
Who started the fire
We’ll be sweeping
I will be sweeping
The steps of your empire
Yeah we’ll be sweeping
I will be sweeping
The steps of your empire

We’ll be sweeping
I will be sweeping
The steps of your empire
Yeah we’ll be sweeping
I will be sweeping
