Johnny sleeps every night down by the shore,
He thinks he saw a girl there begging him to come aboard
But every time Johnny gets a little too close,
She says "You silly little boy Honey, don't you know that
I fight fire with smoke and mirrors?
I fight fire with smoke and mirrors come on!"

[Chorus:]

The Devil slept tonight, Johnny flew a kite, Jesus had breakfast in bed
He found the antidote in her favorite coat, she was only in his head

Johnny says the sweet is never really as sweet,
Unless you've got the sour to compare while you eat
So when he bites into that forbidden fruit and his mouth fills up with that forbidden juice,
He might cough and hack and choke and gasp and shake,
But he'll swallow it down and take another bite anyway

[Chorus:]

The Devil slept tonight, Johnny flew a kite, Jesus had breakfast in bed
He found the antidote in her favorite coat, she was only in his head

[Bridge:]

He never knew that she was a spider until he was inside her swimming in her skin,
She wove him a tangled web and left him for dead but she'll come back to eat him

[Chorus:]

The Devil slept tonight, Johnny flew a kite, Jesus had breakfast in bed
He found the antidote in her favorite coat, she was only in his head
