The Devil and Mr. Jones lyrics

He sits in the dark

Looking into the glass

with his hand in the jar

It's a sticky white mess.

He applies it and he wonders "How'd I ever get here?"

Piercing his reflection, as he pulls off an ear.

'neath a sign reading 'EXIT' by the backstage door

his fans are collected for a glimpse at the star.

He emerges and they wonder "Oh how can it be,

this angel is the monster we have all come to see?"

In the labyrinth,

In that lab you're in,

In the watery depths of Hell

Boy, you are so renowned in the underground

Even dead in a tale where the witches dwell

Eating all you know as a Wendigo

on a board soaring out to space,

selling ice cream when, we are at the end, in a war between Heaven and Hell.

"This is your fate, Mr. Jones, my dear!"

said the Devil to dear Mr. Jones

"You'll be loved by the millions and great at your task

but no one will see who is under the mask!

Cover your face, Mr. Jones, my dear

It gets hot as hell under the foam

and, like me, you will be in a crowd yet all alone"

Lo sabe Guillermo Del Toro el gran director.

Tambien ubo Ortega, que lo vio en este senor.

Story, saw it glimmer

and Fessenden's known it for years.

It shines from within him

through the growls and the moans and the tears.

In the labyrinth,

In that lab you're in.

In the watery depths of Hell

Boy, you are so renowned in the underground

Even dead in a tale where the witches dwell.

Eating all you know as a Wendigo.

On a board soaring out to space.

selling ice cream when, we are at the end, in a war between Heaven and Hell.

"Show us your face Mr. Jones, my dear"

said the Angel to dear Mr. Jones.

"It's a crime to the Heavens for even a while

to hide for a moment that beautiful smile!

Show us your face, Mr. Jones my dear"

said the angel to dear Mr. Jones.

"You are loved and you know,

you will never be alone"
