The devil doesn't want to be homeless either.

What a poignant passage

You know what, Alexander?
I don't know myself.
My madness…
sometimes I think I'm the child of the devil,
I let the devil in,
Now I can't get him out.
I tried…
burning him out, and cutting him out, and…
he don't take no notice.
Why should he?
He don't wanna be homeless.

You know what Alexander
I don't know myself
my madness
Sometimes I think I'm the son of Satan
I put the devil in
now I can't get him out
I've tried
burning
him with a knife If he doesn't care
, why would he care? The
devil doesn't want to be homeless
