Long Devil from Babyland by Jared White

We go to work at midnight 
Looking for a crooked head
Naked in the jungle 
Illiterate and proud of it

War baby blow your whistle low
To conquer all creation
It's dangerous to speak their name
In your imagination 
Oh Long devil 
It won't be long now

The heir felt a nightmare 
Rising from the deep south
I thought I saw a horse thief 
Running from a field mouse

War baby blow your whistle low
To conquer all creation
It's dangerous to speak their name
In your imagination 
Oh Long devil 
It won't be long now

You dig every thing that Mary thinks
You might try to excavate the sphinx 
Holy morning thunder separate 
A friendless fisherman from tasteless bait 

War baby blow your whistle low
To conquer all creation
It's dangerous to speak their name
In your imagination 
Oh Long devil 
It won't be long now

Caught the grave maker between the sheets
In a pink charity outfit 
You're jealous of the end she meets
But you can't tell no one about it

War baby blow your whistle low
To conquer all creation
It's dangerous to speak their name
In your imagination 
Oh Long devil 
It won't be long now
