lyrics

Well a note rang out in the middle of the night
Woke everybody up in a country mile
And the milk jugs soured and the wells ran dry
The Devil smiled that Southern Smile

All the black cats stood up and packed their bags
And the crows flew off for to spread the news
All the mirrors cracked and the roses died
The Devil strapped on his dancing shoes

As the sun came out so did the whole town
Wearing nothing at all or whatever they could find
Top hats, potato sacks, wedding gowns,
And they stood face-to-face in two long lines

Well husbands faced husbands and wives faced wives
And everybody took a good look around
Someone asked “When?” and the Devil replied,
“Any second now.”

Take your partner by the hand or anywhere they like
To worship in the Devil’s name we dance through Day and Night

Take your partner by the hand or anywhere they like
To worship in the Devil’s name we dance until we die.

about

The Forgetmenauts Berkeley, California

The Forgetmenauts weave folklore and mythology into a strange, fresh, and rich soundscape. Their musicality is orchestral, folksy, alternative, and punk all at once. Their lyrics spin old tales and new into exciting and poetic songs that weave together love and queerness, longing and revenge. Come for the Marriage of Bigfoot and Mothman, stay for the Gay Werewolf Murder Ballad. ... more
