Devil in Disguise
J.Overmars Lyrics

From the California shore to New York City
Rock and roll music is ubiquitous and can be heard everywhere across the United States.

The beat don't never stop
The rhythm of rock and roll music is persistent and never-ending.

You can hear it on the radio anywhere you go
Rock and roll music is broadcasted on the radio throughout the country.

It's steady as the rhythm of a clock
The beat of rock and roll music is regular and unchanging, like a clock.

It cuts through the noise of the city life
The sound of rock and roll music is able to rise above the sounds of urban life.

It won't seem to go away
Rock and roll music is ever-present and refuses to disappear.

It's the devil in disguise I tell you no lies
The pervasive nature of rock and roll is compared to a deceptive, evil entity.

My fingers do the walking everyday

Yonder comes a young girl she wants to take a whirl

She thinks it's all a dream

She got rock and roll way down in her soul

She wants to know where's the limousine

Get up honey let your mama sit down

You're too young anyway

The devil in disguise give her the prize

Then you can carry her away
The artist suggests that someone else can take the young woman home and take advantage of her infatuation with rock and roll.

When the road I travel starts to unravel
When the artist's life begins to fall apart or become chaotic, they turn to rock and roll music for comfort.

Every which way it goes
The singer's life becomes uncertain and unpredictable.

The beat starts to press on my bullet proof vest
The rhythm of rock and roll music beats against the singer's emotions, which they have tried to shield like a bullet proof vest.

And my high turns out to be low
The artist's initial happiness or excitement about life turns to sadness.

Give me my guitar I'm going to go far

Let me see it let me hold it in my hand

I'm playing in a rock 'n roll band
