The Devil Cries Quietly
when the wrong man
does the right thing
the Devil cries quietly
a breeze blows over Hell
all demons hold a sigh
when something wrong
suddenly goes right
in your life
wear persistence as deodorant
and walk confidently
knowing you smell like Heaven
even when you're in Hell
raise your hand, raise your fist above
make it rain, make it flood
when the wrong man
does the right thing
there will be lightning
does the right thing
the Devil cries quietly
a breeze blows over Hell
all demons hold a sigh
when something wrong
suddenly goes right
in your life
wear persistence as deodorant
and walk confidently
knowing you smell like Heaven
even when you're in Hell
raise your hand, raise your fist above
make it rain, make it flood
when the wrong man
does the right thing
there will be lightning

This is inspiring! Sounds like it could be a song for a movie about irony.

I agree with Sparkle Razz ... This definitely has the overtones of a great blues or jazz piece ... Wonderful ink.

Put some deodorant on and then raise your arms and brandish your pits to the world! Love the image! :)
