Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Life's alright in Devil Town
They're right, no one's gonna catch us now
Dad has bought a new car now
We're fine, no one's gonna catch us now
[Verse 2]
You said something dumb again
She's mad, at least that's what they say
Mum and Daddy aren't in love
That's fine, I'll settle for two birthdays
[Chorus]
Devil Town is colder in the summertime
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But I feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too
[Verse 3]
We're all dead in Devil Town
That's fine, 'cause nothing's gonna scare us now
We're all in our dressing gowns
Mine's white and stripey, yours is green and brown
[Verse 4]
I forgot my name again
I think that's something worth remembering
Spiders in your favourite shoes
Just leave them because they're more scared of you
[Chorus]
Devil town is colder in the summertime
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But I feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too
[Chorus]
Devil town is colder in the summertime
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But I feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too
