WHEN GOD SHAKES HANDS WITH THE DEVIL lyrics: daevid allen music: kavus torabi the fat cat smiles the contract signed he can be proud the church agrees his private army will be used to stop the crowd there's a peaceful protest gathering the faithful in the public square they'll get beaten battered and abused cuz they see god everywhere birds stop singin in the middle of the day when god and the devil shake hands media mogul calls his cop and he takes him for a meal he offers him a kickback to bust this guy who's a rival in some deal big boy he got more to offer the bent cop and his crew smack in the bag crack in the mind the dead men they don't leave no clues smack in the eye-ball crack in the bag when god and the devil shake hands round and round we go who knows? centre of the storm there will come a time and then you will see when you believe the one you are when you belong you really are everywhere when you see that's the bed that you lie on it's the way to go (have) the bravado to try even if you've blown your trip a thousand times come come yet again come now come now when god and the devil shake hands and New Jerusalem burns aa aa aa ah ah ahh haaa call the music mind how you go please…. this is not a convoy of despair we come to share we'll see you there even if you've blown your trip a thousand times come again this is not a convoy of despair we'll see you there come with us and try again come again come again come again come again c'mon
