Devil Or Angel? Lyrics

Is she from Regulus or Rigel

Is she a devil or an angel

Does it really matter? It's all the same

At least it is to me - I'll play her game

We take the stage again and read our parts

She's the strangest girl here in theatre arts

And that's saying a lot, and I should know

I'm the weirdest guy here, star of the show

We're a murderin' pair with finger guns

Nobody gets hurt, 'cause it's all in fun

Or at least it is theoretically

But my mom asked me hypothetically

If it don't work out will you be okay

I'm resilient at the end of the day

It was a lie, but it felt like the truth

It niggled at me just like a loose tooth

You're the first - will you be my last

You're the worst - will you be my best

You're the one, but you go too fast

Where's your gun? Have I passed the test

She was out for a week with chicken pox

And I stood there waiting just kicking rocks

Then she came back and I slid out the door

Thank goodness they had just waxed down the floor

Well, she told me I'd have to work for it

So I kneeled down and ate that lump of shit

I told her the truth: I liked her a lot

She said she did too - but then a gunshot

When I called her up on the telephone

And I asked, Honey, are you home alone

She said she was, but she lied about that

Even over the phone, I smelled a rat

That's when I knew that it just wouldn't last

When she bounced a quarter off of his ass

I wrote her a letter and said goodbye

Then this resilient boy broke down and cried

She was first and it didn't last

She was worst and it's for the best

She had won, and it ended fast

I'm no fun, so I flunked the test

Maybe she's like Lucifer

Driven down to Hell

Doesn't matter who you were

Still I meant you well

You were broken, like my heart

I didn't know why

Concealment is such an art

But at least you tried
