American Sinner

Ring the Alarms Fire claiming all in sight¹ The strong the weak the crippled and the insane The wise men and fools Ring the alarms. The devil gets the best tunes What is left here to defend Fury’s being fed again but on what Reduces to cinders Ring the death bell. The devil gets the best tunes 451 degrees. It won’t stop til it sees the death of me Everyone, get everyone Sort the simple from the hard Playing on the devil’s cards you can’t win But thank you for playing Now step to the bow. The devil gets the best tunes Chicago London and New York Never burned so intense or so long Everyone, get everyone What’s the point in running from Your bones will be picked over into dust Ashes and embers Ring the alarms. The devil gets the best tunes 1 See generally, burning of the Contee mansion at the Oaklands. Laurel, Maryland.
