    Lyrics

    There was this man

    Who lived on the seashore

    The house with the steel door

    You passed it on the way to where you are

    He stares at the sand

    From his bedroom window

    Shakes as the wind blows

    Through the passing tail-fins of your car


    Nothing matters anymore

    If he does, he doesn't care

    The devil lives below him

    God lives upstairs


    He's trying to sleep

    So hard in the daylight

    Impossible at night

    Between those neighbours driving him insane

    Footsteps from above

    Below, it's all-night parties

    And it's drink up, my hearties

    They're stoking up for the furnace once again


    Nothing matters anymore

    If he does, he doesn't care

    The devil lives below him

    God lives upstairs


    He hasn't a prayer

    Between the heated floorboards

    And the quiet guy on the third floor

    Who never even picks up all his mail

    He knows where it goes

    Downstairs is stealing

    He stares at the ceiling

    He knows that all he has to do is fail


    Nothing matters anymore

    If it does, he doesn't care

    The devil lives below him

    God lives upstairs

    The devil lives below him

    God lives upstairs
