Allison Russell Demons
[Chorus]
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Comin' up from behind
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Been there all my life
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Surely can't outride 'em
Oh turn around, look 'em in the face
They don't like how sunlight tastes
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 1]
Standing on the corner, waiting on a school bus
She said I had such bad luck
I got the bad hair and the bad skin
I just could not understand it
[Chorus]
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Comin' up from behind
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Been there all my life
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Surely can't outride 'em
Oh turn around, look 'em in the face
They don't like how sunlight tastes
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 2]
Demons in my three in my six in my nine
Used to be so damn terrifying
So we put 'em on the bus but we didn't let 'em drive
Turned them all into Freedom Riders
[Chorus]
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Comin' up from behind
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Been there all my life
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Surely can't outride 'em
Oh turn around, look 'em in the face
They don't like how sunlight tastes
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 3]
Freedom riders sing, Freedom Singers ride
Lift us up to that good fight
Can we carry that song, that shield, that crown
Every last child in every last town
[Chorus]
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Comin' up from behind
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Been there all my life
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Surely can't outride 'em
Oh turn around, look 'em in the face
They don't like how sunlight tastes
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Verse 4]
Ah-ha, hush that fuss
Send your demons to the back of the bus
No matter how they holler, no matter how they moan
They can't change where they are going
[Chorus]
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Comin' up from behind
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Been there all my life
Demons (Demons), demons (Demons)
Surely can't outride 'em
Oh turn around, look 'em in the face
They don't like how sunlight tastes
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
[Outro]
Ah-ha, hush that fuss
Send your demons to the back of the bus
