[Verse 1]
Before it falls into total disarray
You'll have to learn to live a different way
Too late to look back on apocryphal verse
And to be something beyond kinder than words

[Chorus]
This evil spirit, man, it's bringing me down
It tells me not to do the things that I should
It graduated to the back of the bus
They say you let it in when you took the drugs

[Verse 2]
Not up for question, it's not even a thought
Another portrait you can hang on the wall
Dissolve into a state of awful inverse
The truth is not something that you have not heard

[Chorus]
This evil spirit, man, it's bringing me down
It tells me not to do the things that I should
It graduated to the back of the bus
They say you let it in when you took the drugs
