[Lyric] Devils In The Details (Empire Between)

(Verse 1)
Back in New Orleans, it was 1948
Never made it on time, always running late
He plays down in the old Jazz Playhouse
To a crowd of only eight

(Verse 2)
He spots a man in the corner, sitting at the bar
Sippin’ whiskey from a bottle and smoking a cigar
Tips his hat down to a lady as she looks across the room
“My name is Charlie and I gotta song for you.”

(Pre-chorus)
Doo doo doo da
Doo doo doo da

(Chorus)
So he wants to be the greatest
But he doesn’t know how
Just like everybody else
He wants an easy way out
So he wants to feel alive
Escapе this misery
Sell his soul to the dеvil
And go down in history

(Verse 3)
He looks down at his watch, it’s 3:30am
After closing curtain, the crowd begins to thin
Sees the man in the corner, still sippin’ on his gin
Turns towards his shoulder, with a seeping grin

(Verse 4)
“I know you want fame, I know you wanna go far
So let me cut a deal, and I’ll make you a star
The life you’ve always dreamt of is at your fingertips
Oooo just sign this guitar.”

(Pre-chorus)
Doo doo doo da
Doo doo doo da

(Chorus)
So he wants to be the greatest
But he doesn’t know how
Just like everybody else
He wants an easy way out
So he wants to feel alive
Escape this misery
Sell his soul to the devil
And go down in history

(Solo)

(Pre-chorus)
Doo doo doo da
Doo doo doo da

(Chorus)
So he wants to be the greatest
But he doesn’t know how
Just like everybody else
He wants an easy way out

So he wants to feel alive
Escape this misery
Sell his soul to the devil
And go down in history
