Lyrics to Tricky Devil



If I couldn't tell one face from another and cities all looked the same

If my memories were melted like butter and I even forgot my name

Somehow, you'd find a way to make me smile



I can try pleasing all other people, imitate the way they dress

Compliment their hair, mirror behavior, I know they're gonna be impressed

Tell me how you never betray yourself



If they made me pack up all my belongings, put 'em in an old suitcase

Push me out the door with no explanation, nowhere I can show my face

Tell me what you wouldn't do to save your life



Did you make some kind of deal with the Devil?

Are you some kind of saint?

Aren't you gonna say something bad about us?

Will you return hate with hate?



What's the furthest place that you ever traveled?

Somewhere that you had no friends

Have you ever been so lost you unraveled?

Did someone reach out their hand?



Tell me why, tell me why

You smile

You smile

You smile

Tell me why you smile

You smile

Tell me why you smile

Tell me why you smile
