Devil Town Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was livin' in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh, lord, it really brings me down
About the devil town
[Verse 2]
And all my friends were vampires
Didn't know they were vampires
Turns out I was a vampire myself
In the devil town
[Verse 3]
I was livin' in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh, lord, it really brings me down
About the devil town
I was livin' in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh, lord, it really brings me down
About the devil town
[Verse 2]
And all my friends were vampires
Didn't know they were vampires
Turns out I was a vampire myself
In the devil town
[Verse 3]
I was livin' in a devil town
Didn't know it was a devil town
Oh, lord, it really brings me down
About the devil town

As a manic depressive, Johnston often framed his struggles as an innate battle of good versus evil, giving a potential insight in the meaning of the “devil town” and its “vampires”.
