There's a Demon in my Pocket (Inspired by Demonic Possession)

from The Horror Hymns of Creepy Cove Vol. 2 by Peter Laws

lyrics

CHORUS
There's a demon in my pocket
What am I gonna do?
The sucker keeps a' callin.

With a cute pop socket
And a case of sapphire blue.
But it's language is appalling.

Just the other day I was with my wife.
She was telling me the biggest secret of her life.
Then she looked at me, and started to cry.
Cos I was posting a recipe for pumpkin pie....

CHORUS
There's a demon in my pocket
What am I gonna do?
The sucker keeps a' callin.
With a cute pop socket
And a case of sapphire blue.
But it's language is appalling.

I was at my kid's nativity
Such a wholesome, good activity.
But my kid'd big line, 'No Room at the Inn!'
Was drowned out by me laughing at Linked-In.

CHORUS
There's a demon in my pocket
What am I gonna do?
The sucker keeps a' callin.
With a cute pop socket
And a case of sapphire blue.
And my dad cred is fallin'

Late at night,
I can feel the dream.
Calling my name.
From across the stream.
And one day I'll go.
But not before I see.
Some guy I don't know.
Setting out his English Tea.

Yeah, there's a demon in my pocket.
What am I gonna do.
And frankly I am tetchy.
Told my boss that the queen.
Is a lizard, drinking grue.
And the dummy called me 'sketchy'.

There are times when I'd like to be free.
But the power of the zeitgeist compels me.
Besides the demon don't ask much of me.
Just my thumb and my mind and an exorbitant monthly fee.

CHORUS
There's a demon in my pocket
What am I gonna do?
The sucker keeps a' callin.
With a cute pop socket
And a case of sapphire blue.
But it's language is appalling.

CHORUS
There's a demon in my pocket
What am I gonna do?
The sucker keeps a' callin. (it's callin me right now).
With a cute pop socket
And a case of sapphire blue.
But it's language is...
Excuse me, I just gotta check this.
