Devil in the Doorway

Verse 1

There’s a devil in the doorway, boots up on the bar

Laughin’ like he owns the night — but honey, here we are

You’re buyin’ me a whiskey? Better make it two

’Cause saints don’t dance like this — and neither should you

Tin whistle shrieks, fiddle cuts sharp

I tip my glass and break your heart

Pre-Chorus

Oh don’t look shocked, love — I warned you fair

There’s trouble braided in my hair

Chorus (BIG gang vocals)

HEY!

Saints don’t dance like this!

Clap your hands and steal a kiss!

Spin me once and take the risk —

We were born for nights like this!

HEY!

Raise it high and slam it down!

Let the fiddles shake the ground!

If we sin, we’ll sin renowned —

Sing it loud and sing it proud!

Verse 2

You said your mama warned you ‘bout the red-haired kind

But here you are again, love — losin’ your mind

Your halo slipped somewhere round half-past nine

Now you’re swingin’ from the rafters shoutin’ “She is mine!”

Ale on the floorboards, sparks in the grin

I don’t start the fire — I just let it in

Whistle Break

(Instrumental stomp section — claps, whistles, fiddle run)

Bridge (playful villain moment)

Oh I’ll bless you with a wicked grin

Drag you close and pull you in

Say a prayer and count to three —

The sinner here is you, not me

Final Chorus – ALL IN

HEY!

Saints don’t dance like this!

Clap your hands and steal a kiss!

Spin me once and take the risk —

We were born for nights like this!

HEY!

Let the rafters shake and roar!

Boot heels pound the tavern floor!

If you leave, you’ll beg for more —

We’ll be legends evermore!
