Sophie Ellis-Bextor
Devil on My Shoulder
I feel the pressure rise
Taking over
And I’m burning
I’m burning up
My heart beats like a ride
Speeding motor
And I feel like I’m losing touch
Come on Alice
Don’t you lose your head
Take a breath instead
When all gets manic
Come on Alice
Don’t pull on the thread
With the voice in your head
Please don’t panic
Stop
He’s come to take over
The devil on my shoulder
And I don’t know what to do
He’s trying to lead me back to you
Don’t let him take over
The devil on my shoulder
Stop, get out of my mind
‘Cause your not gonna win this time
The walls are closing in
The room is shrinking
And it’s pounding
It’s pounding inside
There’s danger in my pulse
I’m beyond thinking
I’m just drowning beneath the tide
Come on Alice
Don’t you lose your head
Take a breath instead
When all gets manic
Come on Alice
Don’t pull on the thread
With the voice in your head
Please don’t panic
Stop
He’s come to take over
The devil on my shoulder
And I don’t know what to do
He’s trying to lead me back to you
Don’t let him take over
The devil on my shoulder
Stop, get out of my mind
‘Cause your not gonna win this time
I start to feel it taking over burning up
The pressures rising and my heartbeat’s speeding up
The room is shrinking and the walls are closing in
I feel the pulse of danger beat under my skin
Stop, he’s come to take over
Stop, he’s come to take over
‘Cause you’re not gonna win this time
