lyrics

And the devil is so close tonight
He’s holdin’ me tight
Settin’ the whole place on fire
And god is a liar
This will all be just fine

Hey see the sun
Let’s jump right in
And purge ourselves
Of these deadly sins
You can’t defeat me
Yeah don’t even try
‘Cos you live on the ground
And I live in the sky

Cos the devil is so close tonight
He’s holdin’ me tight
Settin’ the whole place on fire
And god is a liar
This will all be just fine

There ain’t no sleepin’ tonight
The sky is on fire
And this city is mine
I got nothin’ but time
Feelin’ more than alive

And you say you can’t open your door
You claim that you know it all
But now I’m out with the poor
I’m gonna build up this tower
And just watch it fall

Because the devil is so close tonight
He’s holdin’ me tight
Settin’ the whole place on fire
And god is a liar
This will all be just fine

Fear becoming reality
Self-fulfilling prophecy
With a little dependency
I guess we’ll just wait and see
Just how bad this can be

Because the devil is so close tonight
He’s holdin’ me tight
Settin’ the whole place on fire
And god is a liar
This will all be just fine
And god is a liar
This will all be just fine
God is a liar
This will all be just fine

about

Ben Mastwyk Melbourne, Australia

"The songs are rich with meaning and truth…real and raw, just as true country music should be”.
Samuel J. Fell. Rhythms Magazine

Mastwyk plunges headlong into Seventies country-soul glam with lashings of cosmic American pedal steel and psych-guitar glitz.
Country Update

“Mastwyk conjures up the spirits of Conway Twitty and George Jones through well told stories of the heart.”
