lyrics

That old bastard time
Has got a way of spinning lies around the youth
And pulling roots to make them numb

That old snake desire
Spreads around like wildfire
Between the two, they spin the old from threads of youth

But I’m afraid the devil is winning
And I just can’t stop my sinning
For all the world
But to be straight and narrow
Is no fun, I want the marrow
In the spine of broken life

Beauty, that big bitch,
Has got a way of making stitches
In the hearts of every man she wouldn’t love

And Bourbon, that big lug,
Sings promises of beauty’s love
But what tastes good on the tongue
Won’t make you young
It’ll leave you lonely
Like time, desire, and beauty by firelight

And I’m afraid the devil is winning
And I just can’t stop my sinning
For all the world
But to be straight and narrow
Is no fun, I want the marrow
In the spine of broken life
That leaves you lonely
Like time, desire, and beauty by firelight

…Just leave me lonely
Like time, desire, and beauty by firelight
