The Jaws Of The World
Devotchka

I snatched you away from the jaws of the world
But I drank up her oceans and dried up her pearls.
I acted reprehensibly.
I acted like she was sent here for me.
Gold in the water, and under the water
And the richer man gave his lovely daughter
for lack of decency.
She robbed a thief like me.

I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more.
I would trust you,. but trust is such a dirty word.
I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more.
I loved you, but love is like a dirty whore.

Aah-oooh. Aah-oooh. Aah-ooh. Aah-oooooh.

Well I snatched her away from the jaws of the world
But I drank up her diamonds and I dried up her pearls.
I acted reprehensibly.
I acted like she was made for me.
And now into the water. And under the water.
I'm baptized with the neighbor's daughter for a life of decency.
She saved a wretch like me.

I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more.
I would trust you, but trust is such a dirty word.
I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more.
Oh, I loved you, but love is like a dirty whore.

Aah-oooh. Aaah-oooh. Aah-ooh.
Aah-oooooooooooooh.
