lirik lagu me and the devil – moonkin
(gil scott heron * “the vulture”)
standing in the ruins of another black man’s life
or flying through the valley seperating day and night
“i am death,” cried the vulture
“for the people of the light.”
charon brought his raft from the sea that sails on souls, and saw the scavenger departing, taking warm hearts to the cold
he knew the ghetto was a haven for the meanest creature ever known
in a wilderness of heartbreak, and a desert of despair, evil’s clarion of justice shrieks a cry of naked terror, taking babies from their mamas, and leaving grief beyond compare…
so if you see the vulture coming, flying circles in your mind, remember, there is no escaping, for he will follow; close behind
only promise me a battle * a battle for your soul, and mine… and mine.”
(reversed voices)
[song starts]
y’all’ve summoned us
early this mornin’
when you knocked upon my door
early this mornin’
when you knocked upon my door
and i said… “h*llo satan ! i..
i believe, it is time to go.”
me and the devil
walking side by side
me and the devil
walking side by side
and i’m gonna see my woman
until i get satisfied
say? you don’t see why
and you uh, dog me ’round…
see? don’t see why, them people
they d*gg*ng me around ?!
t’must be that old evil spirit
so deep down in my ground…
you may bury my body
down by the highway side
(ion’t care where you bury me.)
(when i’m gone * i’m gone.)
you may, bury my body
down by the highway side
so my old evil spirit
can a greyhound, bus that ride?
(walking side by side)
so my old evil spirit
could greyhound, wander around
(walking side by side)
side by side…
