Lyrics
I used to comb through the fine print
Triple-checking immortality
Trying to grease my demons through them gates
On a technicality
Now most days I just board this train
Waiting for it to derail
Some days I wish I never been born
Not to go into detail
But the angel's in the details
Jesus can we call a truce
'Cause the devil's in the double helix
You can't shake that dog a'loose
You can't shake that dog a'loose
Once I was a soft boy
Assassinated by a blade of grass
But you gotta be tougher than I was
If you want to make that last
Now I'm all rawhide and fortified
I strike fast and first
Sometime someone sees inside
It makes it that much worse
They see the angels in the details
Jesus can we call a truce
For the devil's in the double helix
You can't shake that dog a'loose
You can't shake that dog a'loose
So I guess bury me with this flat top guitar
I go to hell I won't be there alone
Just let me burn with this old gold-strung rosewood
In a halo of herringbone
With these angels in the details
Jesus calling off our truce
'Cause the devil's in the double helix
I couldn't shake that dog a'loose
O' the angels in the details
They come down gnaw at the noose
But the devil's in the double helix
You can't shake that dog a'loose
Y'all can't shake that dog a'loose
I couldn't shake that dog a'loose
