Your mama never told you
how you were s'posed to treat a girl
Your papa never told you
now you're alone, out in the world
Sirens are screaming
inside the winding sheets are pale
The devils are dreaming,
dreaming of a blue angel
Now I lay me down to sleep
but troubled dreams are all I find
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I pray so I won't lose my mind
Streetlights come streaming
on wings tonight I'll soon set sail
The devils are dreaming,
dreaming of a blue angel
Your mama's gonna take it hard
you always were your mama's boy
You're lying in the graveyard
now you're not your mama's joy
Silence is screaming
i'll bat an eye and cast my spell
The devil's are dreaming,
dreaming of a blue angel
The devil's are dreaming,
dreaming of a blue angel
The devil's are dreaming,
dreaming of a blue angel
The devil's are dreaming.
