about

This track was written many years ago and has been recorded for a long time and will be part of the upcoming album but we figured we would put out a rough cut of this considering Daniel's passing. This is inspired by Daniel Johnston himself, his story and the beautiful film, "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" by talented film maker, Jeff Feuerzeig.

lyrics

"Between the Devil and Daniel Johnston"

Daniel was a coal burning under the floorboards
heating up the over and cupboards
an unserviceable profit to the lord
and this made his parents kind of sore

between the Devil and Daniel Johnston
hey man everyone thought that was awesome
there's a demon on his back lord get it off him
between the devil and Daniel Johnston

Daniel joined the circus on a moped
workin' at McDonald's to keep his soul fed
singing songs with the children from the rocket
with a corn dog hangin' out his pocket

between the Devil and Daniel Johnston
hey man everyone thought that was awful
there's a demon on his back lord get it off him
between the devil and Daniel Johnston

south by southwest and MTV
he said hey how are you this is me
I can't believe its all really happened
he wrote his top five songs out on a napkin

between the Devil and Daniel Johnston
hey man everyone thought that was awesome
there's a demon on his back lord get it off him
between the devil and Daniel Johnston
