Regina Spektor - The Devil Come to Bethlehem lyrics

Joseph and Mary are so bad
Kissing in the park, kissing in the park
Kissing in the park
He practices dentistry without a license
But, it's alright cause Mary read the
Books and she's got his back
They're saving up for a trip to France
Gonna leave the baby with one of the inlaws
Just long enough to see the
Eiffel tower and bank
Wearing a scarf and boots on the airplane

The Devil come to Bethlehem
With a bible and an alarm clock
The Devil come to Bethlehem
And he ain't afraid of the dark
Joseph and Mary are so sad
Sitting in a park in Paris, France
Reading the news, and it sure looks bad
A pile of empty postcards on their lap
Nothing bright to write and
Nothing good to send

Devil come to Bethlehem
With a bible and an alarm clock
The devil come to Bethlehem
And he ain't afraid of the
Dark-ness is less frightening than the
Light-ness is less frightening than the dark

Joseph and Mary are so Dead
Oh it's been years, it's been
Years, it's been many, many years
All their descendants are long
Buried and gone
And their closest blood relative works
In a Philadelphia Sears
Walking on water in his own bathtub
Turning that water to wine

Devil come to Bethlehem
With a bible and an alarm clock
The devil come to Bethlehem
And he ain't afraid of the

Dark-ness is less frightening than the
Light-ness is less frightening than the
Dark-ness is less frightening than the
Light-ness is less frightening than the dark
