Bowl filled to the brim, it will spill over, Keep sharpening the blade, you will soon blunt it. Nobody can protect a house full of gold and jade. So do good, work well, and lie low.

Marshwah Ensemble - Workin' for the Devil 04:24
lyrics
buy track
i'm workin' for the devil 'cause he's the one who's payin' workin' for the devil 'cause he's the one who's layin' down the money that i need to get myself out of this nasty situation i'm workin' for the devil 'cause he's the one who's payin' workin' for the devil 'cause he's the one who's payin' for your treats and all your feathers, and that little mouse you like to bat around because of him, you won't have to be shipped off to the pound and i won't have to make your pelt into a bootstrap to get me off the ground i'm workin' for the devil 'cause he's the one who's slayin' all the fees that i accrued that night my life was nearly ended at the hospital that night; and for seven thousand dollars, missus doctor fixed me up, though the stitchin' rather rude and you'll never know that i'm workin' for the devil

about

This is a split single between Desert Magic and Marshwah Ensemble. We've both been recording albums at the same time and thought it would be fun pair our songs together. Enjoy!
