Lyrics
Little black squirrel sitting on a concrete wall
Little beady eyes staring back at us all
And when we try to follow him back home
I?m left to wonder where he goes to roam
Lucifi, where the devil have you gone
Are you underground or am I just your pawn
You?re the dark side of the block that I live on
Oh, Lucifi, where the devil have you gone
Little black squirrel stands out from all the greys
Little furry feet scurry in a New York maze
Are you bent on evil or do you come in peace
Were you sent here to make sure that I re-sign my lease
Lucifi, where the devil have you been
Are you out for blood, or should I let you in
The temptation just to pet you would be a sin
Oh, Lucifi, where the devil have you been
Are you here to beg for food just like the poor? (Spare some change?)
Are you my own version of The Raven ?Nevermore?? (Nevermore)
I?m not afraid that you?re rabid and you?ll attack (Yeehaw!)
Just a highly intelligent squirrel that?s very black
Lucifi, why the devil are you here
Am I out of luck, or am I in the clear
You?ve been haunting every footstep for a year
Oh, Lucifi, why the devil are you here
Oh, Lucifi, why the devil are you here
Lucifi, why the devil are you here
