Down on the seabed
Crushed by the wave
Twisted for money
Born I a slave
Devil on my back
Underneath my skin
Laugh at affliction
Knock but don't you fall in
Fever in my handsAnd for the first time
In my small world
I have touched on greater meaning
And for the first time
In my small world
I have given myself to learningThere was a freedom
Hard to define
Vain and outspoken
Like no friend of mine
Devil on my back
Underneath my skin
Laugh at affliction
Knock but don't you fall in
Fever in my handsAnd for the first time
In my small world
I have touched on greater meaning
And for the first time
In my small world
I have given myself to learning
