Lyrics

Don’t Tempt Me Devil

Don’t leave my side
I’m begging on my knees
I’ll call the demons away
Baby just say please
I got money to spare
There ain’t no need
Holy water on tap
Have a shot if you please

Don’t try to tempt me devil x2
Don’t try to tempt me devil no more

I’ve been breaking my back
Just a doing my part
Taking names ain’t easy
Have a knife through the heart
Getting back in the game
Going back to the start
Holy water on tap
Have a shot if you’re smart

Don’t try to tempt me devil x2
Don’t try to tempt me devil no more

Chorus
Don’t try to run from me
Only makes it worse you see
Realize too late
I’m coming for you

Just Enough (Pills)

Sometimes I like to feel
Like everybody’s watching me
Sometimes I put on a show
And hope to God that they want to know
I don’t like taking my pills
I don’t get any kind of thrill
Baby make me feel so good x2

Chorus
What you all don’t see
Is the pain in me
I keep it all inside
Just enough to get by
What you all don’t see
Is the change in me
I keep it all inside
Just enough to get by

Looking back now I can see
What it means to feel so free
Every time I look to you
For some guidance on what to do
It’s never free so I never ask
All I get is a kick in the ass
Baby make me feel so good x2

Repeat Chorus

Black Elephant

Have you crossed your mountains
Only to see what you’ve been missing?
Have you crushed your armies
And driven them back into the sea?
The general always expects
Complete and total victory for Carthage
Seek your fame and fortune
And leave the battle triumphantly

Always be prepared
For that long campaign ahead
Can’t you hear me knockin’
On your mighty gates of Rome?
CBS News honors
All the fallen heroes
No gold or silver will ever
Ever bring them back

Chorus
So come home
Black elephant
Come home
To what you need
Do you need?
To see your love again?
Do you need?
To see your love again?
Oh black elephant

How much longer
Until you declare mission accomplished?
How many years
Before you achieve your lifelong goal?
Citizen-soldier sharpen
All of your ivory spears now
Seek your fame and fortune
And leave the battle triumphantly
