1) a Canadian alternative rock band,
2) a Swedish electronic pop project,

Other members of the band are Mark Makoway (guitars), Francis Fillion (drums), Louis Lalancette (bass), Jonathan Gallivan (guitars) and Kevin Young (keyboards). Former members include Jeff Pearce (bass) and Paul Wilcox (drums).
Moist formed in the early 1990s and eventually released an independent cassette in 1993. The cassette caught the attention of EMI, who released their first full-length studio CD, Silver, in 1994. Producer Terry Brown (Rush, Blue Rodeo) was brought in to work on a few of the band's songs, and the album went on to sell 400,000 copies in Canada on the strength of hard-hitting singles like Push, Silver and Believe Me. The follow up, Creature, was released in 1996 to even greater success, with the band's sound maturing and fostering its softer side. A final studio album titled Mercedes 5 and Dime was released in 1999 which was softer and more melancholic than previous releases.

Moist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've been smoking and we got so high
Can't imagine that there's anyone stopping me
We got the devil in mind
Already they're all over me
Can't say that I don't want it
Well what did you think I would do
When you lied
And what did you think it would prove
All this time
Now everything's all over you
She got the devil in mind
So we borrowed what we never would undertake
Can't imagine what the gun was for
For one second well I thought we might hesitate
We got the devil in store
Alright now they're all over me
Can't say that I don't need it
And she cried
Well what did you think I would do
When you lied
And what did you think it would prove
All this time
Now everything's all over you
She got the devil in mind
And she cried
Well what did you think I would do
When you lied
And what did you think it would prove
All this time
Now everything's all over you
She got the devil in mind
Heat is rising and the weight is on top of me
We've been smoking and we got so high
Can't imagine that there's anyone stopping me
We got the devil in mind
