Sometimes they're in a bottle
Sometimes a pair of high-heeled shoes
Some come rolled in paper
Some have six strings that only play the blues

But when i'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me
The skeletons in closets, ghosts underneath the bed
They hide out in pictures
And in words better left unsaid
They hang around like perfume
And haunt me like an ancient melody
When i'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me
There's things that i can't leave alone
Cause they won't leave me alone
And what i want ain't what i need
Still i reach for the things i crave
Better try to run away
Maybe i'm afraid of being free
Cause when i'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me
So roll one up and light it
And pick up my old guitar
I'm playing the crossroads
And drinkin' whiskey from a mason jar
There's a heartache at my front door
Says she needs my company
When i'm not chasing demons
There's demons chasing me
There's things that i can't leave alone
Cause they
