The Polly Nichols Interview by Kip Winger, Damien Gray Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2021

[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
A real bang-up job girl
Sins, by the dozen
A whore in the alleys
To hell, you are summoned

[POLLY]
Are you the devil?

[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
Ha
I'm not the devil
I'm the middling sort
I listen to stories
I get from the source

[POLLY]
I've not much to say
As I had [?] my life
But he took that away
With a rip of his knife
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
This monster, he's something, on that we'll agree
It's in him we take interest
So continue, please

[POLLY]
Believe it or not
I despise what I did

[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
You once had a family
Says here, five kids

[POLLY]
And a husband
Who loved me

How else can you cope, in Whitechapel?
It's 24/7 of me fighting the apple

[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
No rest for the wicked

[POLLY]
There's no getting out
Though you plot, and you plan
You're just running in motion
You die where you stand
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
I live in hell, darling

[POLLY]
My father never knew
What his daughter had become

[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
And so, one night, you meet Mr. Wrong
And it seems, in the dark, you two get along
Can you shed me some light on this monster in question?

[POLLY]
If I tell you the details, will you offer redemption?

[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
Oh...I don't do redemption

Let's continue the audit
Speak of the night
When you wore that lovely black bonnet
