She peddled her promises,
and a story so sad,
I gathered angels
to sing her praises.
Even the devil
took a beat
to cock his head
and listen in admiration.
But a hook that high,
blazing through the night,
could never bring down the sun,
so I shrugged my shoulders
and the devil laughed
when I walked my angels home.

A hook here might not bring down the sun, but catches the imagination more than well enough.
