Freaky teeth

when the rain came falling down
on the darkness at the edge of town
and they came to steal the lightning from the sky
a push that might come to shove
and your love might not be enough
to free you from the fears that paralyse

yet they used to love you for the way you sang your soul
now they've come to claim you for the night
the ghost that come to steal the light out of your eyes

but your momma and your wife
cut your heart out with a knife
and they left you for the dogs to lick your bones
they made you cry the rain
but they love you just the same
before your god, and the devil, take your soul

tell me what did you bequeath
to the girl with the freaky teeth
she showed you things she'd stolen from the queen
she took out your hearts desire
as she danced back into the fire
with the holy men who stole your tambourine

yet they used to love you for the way you sang your soul
now they've come to claim you for the night
the ghost that come to steal the light out of your eyes

but your momma and your wife
cut your heart out with a knife
and they left you for the dogs to lick your bones
they made you cry the rain
but they love you just the same
before your god, and the devil, take your soul

but your momma and your wife
cut your heart out with a knife
and they left you for the dogs to lick your bones
they made you cry the rain
but they love you just the same
before your god, and the devil, take your soul
before your god, and the devil, take your soul
before your god, and the devil, take your soul
before your god, and the devil, take your soul
