[Verse 1: David Gunn]
So I’m sittin' here with ghosts again some are women mostly men
Telling me of times they have had
And I’m fantasizing about a hole in the ground
How and where I’m gonna lay myself down and still die at 27 like we planned

Then she saw the look in my eyes
And began to sing a song I won’t describe
"In another life, we’ll be king and queen you and I"
Then she told me devil don’t cry

[Chorus: RosieMay]
Devil don’t cry, don't cry
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
But “God needs an enemy and I need a guy”
And she told me devil don’t cry

At least not tonight

[Verse 2: David Gunn]
And I’m sittin' alone again
All my friends are with their friends
Thinking of times I have had
And I’m fantasizing about a hole in the ground
How and where I’m gonna lay myself down and I find a knife in my hand
Then she saw the look in my eyes
And began to sing a song I won’t describe
"In another life, we’ll be king and queen you and I"
Then she told me devil don’t cry

[Chorus: RosieMay]
Devil don’t cry, don't cry
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
But “God needs an enemy and I need a guy”
And she told me devil don’t cry

Devil don’t cry, don't cry
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
But “God needs an enemy and I need a guy”
And she told me devil don’t cry

[Bridge: David Gunn and RosieMay]
Tonite let’s not pretend a thing
This earth and its creatures are the ugliest we’ve seen
And the human machine cannot contain this love
So we die let’s just meet at our place up above

Devil don’t cry, don't cry
I know things get tough and sometimes you wanna die
But “God needs an enemy and I need a guy”
And she told me devil don’t cry
And she told me devil don't cry
And she told me devil don't cry
