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
