Bonnie Raitt - Spit Of Love Lyrics
Theres a howlin at my window, babyI hear him closin inThat green-eyed jackals got the scentKnows Ill let him inHe slinks in by me at the fireMore bitter than the coldAnd its a rage as old as hadesThatll sputter on these coalsIm callin on the furies, to let the toast beginIm roasting on the spit of love againI never have believed youBut I stick around for moreSomethin bout that hollow in your eyesTheres a darkness at the coreWell, its got me slowly turninIm basting on the boneIm skewered like some drunken foolIn juices all my ownCallin the furies carrion choirSingin me back upon the pyreIm roasting on that spit of love againYou can call it what you wantBut its lyin just the sameTheres no mercy in these ashes, babyWhen your loves a cryin shameAnd theyre howlin in moonlight, babyTheyre here to call my bluffTheyre wonderin if therell ever come a dayWhen Ill have finally had enoughIm callin on the furies, to let the toast beginIm roasting on that spit of love again
