Artist/Band: Jeff Buckley
Lyrics for Song: Demon John
Lyrics for Album: Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk [1997]



Say farewell, g'night, sonny Jim

In your defenseless, winning smile

What do you hope to win?

And bliss face down, defended



Well, now stoned demon John

There ain't no town the boy cannot belong

Why did you come here

Is it to excavate all your sins, boil within?



Slaughter like the daughter of the devil you send me

I have to deal, you called me here

Can't say that you were juiced the night

That you were introduced to demon John



Gonna take him with you when you go

Dance down slow, oh, way down



You cannot escape the bar-side angel dissector

You undo your life with too much cocoon, who's your protector?

Dark as the city where the white girls walk by

Down below your eyes, just like fireflies



You call me here, come on here, follow me dear

Past cascades of rage and fear, you called me here

Couldn't say that you had been juiced

The time that you were introduced to demon John



Well, you knew you had to want to go

Dance down slow by the light of the sun



Murder comes today or tonight

Better get yourself together and transcend it

A burst of light blaze stars into me

While the love breaks through here and now



So murder by the light of the sun

Please, don't get too close to me

You said you are for real, it's not pretend

All memories stolen, know this for yourself



How'd you like to be the happiest man in the world?

Behind the weathered field hands whose blistered paws harvest cut

For wedding clothes they'll never wear

Marching down a road that was never there

It takes place on a sunlit lace and the backbone broken



Please bring us light, demon John

You, demon John, take him with you when you go
