amyjared Rocks Off Regular Offline Rocks Off Rules You Bastards Posts: 11 Eugene, Oregon USA Gender:	Sway lyrics question? Jun 7^th, 2012 at 1:09pm I've seen the lyrics printed as: "It's just that demon life..." and I know he sings that, but doesn't he also sing "evil life"?? Or is it just my poor hearing...

SWAY
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Did you ever wake up to find
A day that broke up your mind
Destroyed your notion of circular time

It's just that demon life has got you in its sway
It's just that demon life has got you in its sway

Ain't flinging tears out on the dusty ground
For all my friends out on the burial ground
Can't stand the feeling getting so brought down

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway

There must be ways to find out
Love is the way they say is really strutting out

Hey, hey, hey now
One day I woke up to find
Right in the bed next to mine
Someone that broke me up with a corner of her smile, yeah

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway
It's just that demon life has got me in its sway

It's just that demon life has got me in its sway
It's just that demon life has got me...

It's just that demon life has got me...

Demon life = devil-like lifestyle that will kill you eventually if you dont break out of it's control and free yourself from it's sway = evil ways.

Paint it black, YOU DEVIL! People often think of MICK as a Devil, or Demon.

SYMPATHY for the DEVIL! Just call me Lucifer (whoo whoo)
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint (whoo whoo)

But I know his name, he's called Mr. D. = The DEVIL

Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool cool hand on my head
Ah, come on, Sister Morphine, you better make up my bed
'Cause you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead ~ Sister Morphine is a good example of Demon Life.
