We had great expectations

We had a lavender sea

We had cause and the potions

Prince of the city, king of the keys

The devil's in the detail

Your secret's safe with me

The devil's in the detail

And we're all out to sea

The devil's in the detail

We're at the watershed

The devil's in the detail

Sleeping in my bed

The devil's in the detail

Weaved within the cloth

The devil's in the detail

He's out collecting moths

The gates of babylon opened

We fell upon our prey

Everything was taken

It was the summer of our day

Come here my skanky toady

Let me whisper in your ear

If you think you're fooling anyone

Baby it's not very clear

The devil's in the detail

Your secret's safe with me

The devil's in the detail

And we're all out to sea

The devil's in the detail

Underneath the stone

The devil's in the detail

Chewing on the bone

The devil's in the detail

We're at the watershed

The devil's in the detail

She's sleeping in my bed

The devil's in the detail

We're at the watershed

The devil's in the detail

Now she's sleeping in my bed

The devil's in the detail

Underneath the stone

The devil's in the detail

It's chewing on the bone

The devil's in the detail, the devil's in the detail

Your secret's safe, your secret's safe with me
