All Day Sucker - The Hell You Don't Know

Bet you're wondering why I'm so familiar, almost second nature
Guess I'm some kind of mnemonic figure in demonic nomenclature
I'm the devil you know
So forget any formal introduction
I'm the devil, you know, so forgive me my former interruption
Of all your motor functions
It's the hell you don't know that you don't know that'll serve you better than the one you know
It's the hell you don't know that you don't know that'll serve you better than the one
Serves you right, if I do say so
Sartre said that hell is other people through his haze of Gauloises
How we gaze on ourselves in other people inflames our blazing faux pas
I'm the devil you know
That's my resume and my credentials
I'm the devil, you know
And I've been translating every selfish help text
From their dead native language
Into sexy existential
It's the hell you don't know that you don't know that'll serve you better than the one you know
It's the hell you don't know that you don't know that'll serve you better than the one you know
Meanwhile while you languish in your anguish wishing for some silly little heaven thrill
It's the hell you don't know that you don't know that'll serve you better than the best your better angels will
My eventual revenge on you
My dear precious contrapasso
Is not to pull on your puppet strings or trap you in my lasso
It's just to loosen the thread you wove in the tangled web you're wrapped in
That you would be exposed to all my sadness you made happen
It's the hell you don't know that you don't know that'll serve you better than the one you know
It's the hell you don't know that you don't know that'll serve you better than the one you know
The greatest trick the devil ever turned
Was learning how to light your wick and not get burned
It's the hell you don't know that you don't know that'll serve you better than the one
I'm the devil you know
Pretty pointless in trying to resist me
I'm the devil and so
Let's commemorate our oral history I fell when you kissed me off
