Devil and the Deed Lyrics
I won't act until she's gone the way of violence
Stare at pictures that I'm hiding in the attic
How do you know,
How could you ever know?There's a man who got caught in a trick now
And I never see her lips being kissed on
How do you know,
How could you ever know?Maybe now it's harder
If it was 40 years ago
I would need it to sleep over
Between the devil and the deedBut I can't live without her,
I got down and asked
I could never let
her get out of my handsYou could never handle if she was into magic
You could never stand it if she couldn't speak your language
You wouldn't let yourself get mistaken for your whole clan
Shake it out your big fat headMaybe here it's harder
And it's a backwards country
Where you need it to sleep together
I'm between the devil and the deedBut I can't live without her,
I got down and asked
I could never let
her get out of my handsMaybe now it's harder
If it was 40 years ago
I would need it to sleep over
I'm between the devil and the deedBut I can't live without her,
I got down and asked
I could never let
her get out of my hands
