Intro

Verse i

Up where the evening sun, the river rolls on by

 The neighbors they tell secrets, the neighbors they tell lies

 And somewhere the plane went down, these things they never stop

Somebody feels the knife and somebody calls the cops

Chorus

  [ /C#]

Oh the living and the dying, how easily you bruise

 Oh Delia don't go 'round when the devil's loose

Intro

Verse ii

A figure waits in the shadow, somone drowned in the lake

The march of Georgian feet down the highway and razor blades in the gate

These dogs will tear your flesh, you'd best give them a bone

I see you there in a sea of faces, I see you there alone

Chorus

In the living and the dying how easily you bruise

Oh Delia don't go 'round when the devil's loose

Riff

Verse iii

And what does a mirror show you, can you see the gray?

Your sadness it is quite lovely but it's the sadness of a slave

Why don't you give yourself a rest, oh give yourself some room

You can't get your arms around everybody

You cannot carry the doom...

Chorus

...of the living and the dying, how easily you bruise

Oh Delia don't go 'round when the devil's loose
