Spit Of Love

There's a howlin' at my window I hear him closin' in That green-eyed jackal's got the scent Knows I'll let him in Slinks in by me at the fire More bitter than the cold And it's a rage as old as Hades That'll sputter on these coals Well, I'm callin' on the Furies To let the toast begin Roastin' on the spit of love again The spit of love again I never have believed you But I stick around for more Somethin' 'bout that hollow in your eyes There's a darkness at the core Well, it's got me slowly turnin' And I'm basting on a bone And I'm skewered like some drunken fool In juices, all my own Callin' the Furies' carrion choir Singin' me back upon the pyre I'm roastin' on that spit of love again Spit of love again You call it what you want But it's lyin' just the same There's no mercy in these ashes, baby When your love's a cryin' shame And they're howlin' in the moonlight, baby They're here to call my bluff They're wonderin' if there'll ever come a day When I'll have finally had enough Well, I'm callin' on the Furies To let the toast begin Roastin' on the spit of love again Roastin' on that spit of love, spit of love again Take this, baby
