Devil In The Detail
One Last Time Lyrics

You’d promise me the Taj Mahal
You would assure me of grand, extravagant gestures.

Throw in some jewels
And embellish those promises with material gifts.

But baby I can see right through you
However, I can clearly perceive your true intentions.

Used to fall for your big talk
I was once deceived by your impressive words.

I see what you do
Now I am aware of your actual actions and manipulative behavior.

I ain’t one of your fools
I refuse to be misled or taken for granted anymore.

Now you’ve run outta luck
Your good fortune has finally come to an end.

It’s time for shaping up
You must now begin to change your ways.

Cause all your promises they suck...
Because the commitments you've made are worthless and untrustworthy.

The devil in the detail
The hidden flaws and truths reveal the dangers lurking beneath the surface.

Makes hell of paradise
These flaws transform what could have been wonderful into something tormenting.

Lies leave a dark trail
Deception creates a lead of sorrow and regret behind it.

Right across your eyes
This treachery is evident and clear to see.

Devil in the detail
The intricate problems undermine the apparent beauty.

Betrays a Judas kiss
Betrayal comes disguised as affection or loyalty.

I don’t wanna take your brand of bliss
I refuse to accept the false happiness you offer.

Tell me must it come to the devil in the detail
Must we face the harsh realities that reveal the negativity behind the facade?

Quit, quit, quit, fooling ‘round
Stop playing games and being insincere.

You better tame your rovin’ eye
You need to control your wandering affections.

I want someone I can trust, someone I can trust
I yearn for a genuine relationship built on trust.

Don’t want pie in the sky
I am not looking for unrealistic promises.

I wanna see, I wanna see some action now
I desire tangible results and honesty immediately.

Yeah I wanna see it soon
I need to witness this change without further delay.

So You can keep your fancy words, keep your fancy words
You can discard your elaborate rhetoric; they no longer impress me.

And you keep your lousy moon...
And keep your hollow dreams and false promises to yourself.

Now you’ve run outta luck
Your favorable circumstances have finally diminished.

It’s time for shaping up
Now is the moment to sincerely improve and change.

Cause all your promises they suck...
Because your previous commitments hold no value or truth.

The devil in the detail
The subtle complications and issues reveal deep-seated flaws.

Makes hell of paradise
These hidden truths can destroy potential happiness and joy.

Lies leave a dark trail
Deceitful actions leave significant marks of sadness behind.

Right across your eyes
This negativity is glaring and unmistakable.

Devil in the detail
Inward truths undermine the surface's allure.

Betrays a Judas kiss
Loyalty can quickly turn into betrayal in disguise.

I don’t wanna take your brand of bliss
I want no part of the counterfeit happiness you present.

Tell me must it come to the devil in the detail
Is it unavoidable that we confront these hidden struggles?

Oaoaoao oaoaoao oaoaoao
These repetitive sounds symbolize my internal frustration and realization.

Devil in the detail
The complexities in seemingly simple matters can reveal deeper issues.

Devil in the detail
A reminder that one should look closely at commitments and words.

Oaoaoao oaoaoao oaoaoao
These sounds echo my mixed emotions and realizations.

Devil in the detail
Emphasizing the larger truth hidden within the small aspects.

Devil in the detail
Financial and emotional complexities that reveal hidden betrayals.
