Demon Daughters - Phantom Planet

Here come the swooping hawks

Down blocks we’ve all forgotten

Clutching old friends in their talons

Down from the sky

To the way back of his mind

To pick it clean, to leave nothing behind

They go from high school to high class

To higher than highnesses

They’re casting spells

Can’t you tell we’re helpless?

Hard to recover

For the dusty antique lover

But for one thing, there is always another

Demon daughter, they’re all partners

Heads together, summon their fathers

And all Hell’s fury, judge and jury

You better hurry, get him off his back

All the red, red eyes are up in the sky

And the figures they belong to

Are preparing to dive

Yeah, they were fast as the speed of light

Whistling by me

And they took him down

It was ever so gently

Demon daughters, so hot and bothered

Burning irons don’t get much hotter

It boils up his head all over his bed

You better hurry, get him off his back

I found him under

A mountain of blankets

And he was shaking

It’s what they fostered

A child, a monster

His head looked crooked

Then shook and shattered

You bastards!

You hatched her!

You hatched her!

So, they have finally broken that pumping organ

Playing old numbers on it again

Something dark and true

We all can sing to, I know the chorus

Now my brain’s turned black!

Demon daughters!

Demon!

Daughters!

(All the red, red eyes are up in the sky)

Demon daughters!

(And the figures they belong to are preparing to dive)

Demon!

Daughters!

(All the red, red eyes are up in the sky

Swooping hawks, down blocks we’ve all forgotten)

Demon daughters!

(And the figures they belong to are preparing to dive

Clutching old friends in their talons)

Back from whence you came!
