Pernice Brothers - The Devil and the Jinn lyrics

Love is a shoe less charlatan
A silver-tongued huckster with a
Sadist’s lip less grin
Love is the breaking of a bone
A burning cauliflower ear still
Throbbing on the telephone

No matter what you do
It slithers back to you
It's not enough to leave
It's not enough to be left

Love is, the Devil and the Jinn
A brazen changing problem
It's a fight you never ever win
Love is, a cruel company store
A trans-global disaster
It's a meltdown to the core

No matter what you do
It slithers back to you
It's not enough to leave
It's not enough to be left

Despite a college try it paints a sorry sign
You piss away your life
Writing stupid songs that try to say what
Love is!

Despite a college try it paints a sorry sign
You piss away your life
Writing stupid songs that try to say what
Love is!

And when it comes you had better let it in
Go wipe the lamb blood off your
Door novenas don't work anymore
And when it comes you'd better
Kiss it's feet and beg
Please let me come with you
From "love me not" to "love me do"

Love is the Devil and the Jinn
Love is the Devil and the Jinn
Love is the Devil and the Jinn
Love is the Devil and the Jinn
Love is the Devil and the Jinn
Love is the Devil and the Jinn
Love is the Devil and the Jinn love is
