Coheed & Cambria Devil in Jersey City Lyrics

New Jersey bound when sound asleep
They'll find you at your most vulnerable
Pole position, speak up, let out
When down the street, the corner boys f___ s___ up
Scream loud, scream sayonara (ooh, ooh)
Sweet Josephine, will you follow me home
Scream loud, scream sayonara (ooh, ooh)
Sweet Josephine, will you f___ me back home

Let's fire it up, haha, now
Let's fire it up, haha, now
Sayonara
Don't let them scare you
When you're down on the floor bleeding, b______
You'll be getting home real soon
And I'll pray for you high health
Don't let them scare you
When you're down on the floor bleeding, b______
You'll be getting home real soon

Speak up, let out, caught in the crossfire
Compared to the step, to the bone that might break
It's too late to find a better way out of this
With the finest regards that I lost in the cracks of this street
Scream loud (wide open now, you're dead and gone)
Scream sayonara (ooh, ooh)
Sweet Josephine, will you follow me home
Scream loud, scream sayonara
Sweet Josephine, will you f___ me back home

Don't let them scare you
Take me home
When you run, they'll follow you

Take me home
When you run, they'll follow you

Take me home
