The Devil’s Fruit

[Ray Brookes]

Heroin - the devil's fruit.

The King of Hearts shoved her down there
Supplied the clothes and bleached her hair
Taught her how to score and shoot
Thinned her out with the devil's fruit.

The King of Diamonds sold her short
Winter street-walk. The cops all bought.
Dressed down freezing so to look cute
Just to get more of the devil's fruit.

No-one cares and no-one knows
All the doors and the windows close
The demon enters where the money goes
Through those tiny holes between her toes.

The King of Spades plays a clarinet
She dances like a marionette
The King of Clubs plays an alto flute
They're all tasting the devil's fruit.

Nice alternate vibe I think with this one. The drone synth(?)and bass drum only gives it a very unique feel yet the vocals/lyrics have a familiar relatable connection. Cool!

Superb lyric. Such a smooth doleful, yet silky vibe. Nice acoustic addition. The layered voice coming in when it does is something I like to do too, in a number of my songs. Nice one Ray.
