Keep the Devil out of Hillsboro
Keep the demons at bay
Every day is the same, you know
Oh so troubled as it may
Seeming endless with afterglow
Subtle levels of grey
Every thought is a shame, you know
Oh so clever as it may
Beam eye witness from head to toe
And always give in to faith
Not every cross has a name you know
And noone ascended today
I need to exorcise my state of mind
I need to sanitize my wretched spine
Let me get this blackness out of here
With a batting bat –
With a shotgun –
- or a spear…
Every day is the same -
Every day is the same -
Dumb is what really makes us bold
Foolishness is no plague
Every thought is a mould, you know
And every carcass is plain
Clothes will fool you - before you know
We’ve taken care of ourselves
There is no star here in Hillsboro
Only illusions and space –
I need to exorcise my state of mind
I need to sanitize my wretched spine
Let me get this blackness out of here
With a batting bat –
With a shotgun –
- or a spear… yeah…
I need to exorcise my state of mind
I need to sanitize my wretched spine
Let me get this blackness out of here
With a wrecking ball
With a crowbar -
- or a beer…
Keep the Devil out - Keep the Devil out.
Keep the Devil out - Keep the Devil out.
