‘Devil Woman’ Marty Robbins (TB)
When Maryann walked into the police station hunting for Sam, Marty Robbins’ “Devil Woman” was playing on the radio. The subject of the song is a metaphorical devil woman, but some of the words are apt: “Devil woman you’re evil like the dark coral reef, Like the winds that bring high tides you bring sorrow and grief.” (Millarca)
‘Dig,’ lyrics Alan Ball and music Bruno Coon(TB)
Dig
–
Another day
of making my pay
Working for the man
takes my soul away
(alternate lines in credits–Working for the man sets my soul away)
Never been a hustler
shit out of luck
(alternate line in credits–Working for a buck selling shit that don’t work)
The whole bloodsucking world
is a clusterfuck
You got to dig down deep
down deep til you sleep
Until you work on wall street
and make the meat
To the other side
where all the dark things hide
Made dig deep
Til you open wide
You got to dig down deep
and down below
Down to anything
now a while to go
Down past the things
that you think you know
You got to dig dig deeper,
much much deeper
Dig deep and underground
Everything you ever lost
can be found
Where all those numbers end
and knows no bound
You got to dig dig deeper
much much deeper
‘Just a Pawn in their Game’ Bob Dylan (SSN, TB)
