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 He 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 And I'm callin' on the Furies, to let the toast begin I'm roasting 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, the darkness at the core But it's got me slowly turnin' and I'm basting on the bone Well 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 roasting on that spit of love again Spit of love 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 I'm roasting on the spit of love again Roasting on that spit of love Spit of love again, take this baby
