Paul Newman vs. The Demons Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You may have to drag me away from my demons
Kicking and screaming
It's been so long now, I've been with them
Don't know where they stop and I begin
We draw a line in the sand
Will you cross it? Oh, will you die for this?
Got nothing to tell you that you don't
Through your sadness below, already know

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Live through the past again
How many times must I live through the past again?
No more

[Verse 2]
Truth beyond truth and by our design
It is very fine like Newman's wine
Oh, to be like him and walk a path
To lend a hand, do something worth a damn

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
You may have to drag me away from my demons
Kicking and screaming
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Live through the past again
How many times must I live through the past again?
No more, wait

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
