[Intro] [Muffled gramophone crackle, haunting 1920s jazz trumpet, heavy 808 sub-bass, slow-burning dark synth pads] [Verse 1] [Sultry vocal delivery, minimalist swing rhythm, dry finger snaps, deep synth-bass plucks, atmospheric noir] I see you walkin' all alone, it's the middle of the night And the devil's on the phone, he's gonna steal your light He's patient, he is tender, he will catch you by surprise A demon drenched in darkness Who only ever lies with his eyes [Pre-Chorus] [Rising tension, frantic syncopated piano, building industrial percussion, layering electronic textures] He'll see you, try and walk you home But when he leaves, he tears your heart and makes it his own You'll love him to hate him You'll crave him then blame him But when you're finally free, you'll see you've never felt so alone [Chorus] [Explosive Dark Electro-Swing, high-energy brass stabs, driving pop beat, gritty sawtooth synths, theatrical and danceable] We're told the devil will steal our souls But he's 6ft tall With a strong jaw And he'll show you a heart of gold They said the devil's in hell, but it's a lie He's here doing well in a suit and tie He's polite Feels right But he'll break you, then leave you here to die [Verse 2] [Fast-paced staccato delivery, glitchy swing beat, muted "wa-wa" trombone, sharp electronic accents, urgent energy] You'll see him, get caught in his gaze But once you meet him, you can't get away He's out, About, Lurking in the night So shout Out loud Careful when you look into his eyes He's strong, he's sweet He's hiding in disguise He's gone, you're weak He caught you by surprise [Chorus] [Explosive Dark Electro-Swing, high-energy brass stabs, driving pop beat, gritty sawtooth synths, theatrical and danceable] We're told the devil will steal our souls But he's 6ft tall With a strong jaw And he'll show you a heart of gold They said the devil's in hell, but it's a lie He's here doing well in a suit and tie He's polite Feels right But he'll break you, then leave you here to die [Bridge] [Sparse and hollow, distant lounge piano, eerie vocal echoes, sudden electronic distortion, claustrophobic stillness] He's a man of lust He'll take you to the stars But he'll break your heart Always wanting what he hunts He'll break your pride Leave you hollow inside He's never satisfied Leaves you cold in the night [Chorus] [Biggest version, full production, layered brass and heavy synths, climactic dark pop energy] We're told the devil will steal our souls But he's 6ft tall With a strong jaw And he'll show you a heart of gold They said the devil's in hell, but it's a lie He's here doing well in a suit and tie He's polite Feels right But he'll break you, then leave you here to die [Outro] [Decaying jazz melody, bit-crushed brass, slowing tempo, final deep synth growl, fading to silence] So now you know his name You know his face, his game But knowing never saved a soul before He'll tip his hat and smile Stay just a little while And softly shut behind him every door You were warned You were told Now he's got your heart And your soul [single synth note, silence]
