The devil who sleeps in the bottle wants me to clear his way and forget about my friends, He wants me to be a scarecrow for sympathy or tenderness, He wants me to cut the roads that snake towards genuine love, He wants me to throw lamps or plates against the walls and be as miserable as a rat or scream rather than write a poem, Sometimes he gives me ideas about politics or philosophy but hides me their worthlessness, The devil who sleeps in my head usually let me become his friend just until the bottle is empty. |

Sorry to hear he has got you by the tongue, but I am sure you will shake free of him. I don't want to sound flippant, but I would imagine that rats are not usually miserable. - Owl |

Children of alchoholic parents know exactly where the devil sleeps and if they are smart they put the cork in the bottle while he is sleeping. Ida |

That devil has certainly bought a lot of misery to the world .....I can enjoy it too sometimes !...I will borrow a line or two from a songwriter friend of mine ....."don´t drink your demons away .....you can think your demons away" maybe we should just share a bottle of that wonderful french wine...instead of consuming it all!!! |

Thank you Ray for the verses of the song, I think humour is the best answer to a lot of things...I will open a bottle tonight but will have only one glass.... yann |
