The Devil Makes Three - Tango Till They’re Sore by Tom Waits (Cover - Visualizer)

We’re excited to share our cover of Tom Waits’ “Tango Till They’re Sore,“ a song, and an artist, that has deeply influenced our songwriting. This track is the first in a duo of covers we’ve recorded, paying homage to the artists who have shaped our music. Our version of this iconic song is out now, accompanied by a moving animation of the cover art to bring the visualizer to life.

Fall out of the window with confetti in my hair Deal out Jacks or better on a blanket by the stairs I’ll tell you all my secrets, but I lie about my past Send me off to bed for evermore Send me off to bed for evermore
