Roastin' on that spit of love, spit of love again
To let the toast begin
That'll sputter on these coals
That green-eyed jackal's got the scent
And they're howlin' in the moonlight, baby
They're here to call my bluff
Knows I'll let him in
I never have believed you
And I'm skewered like some drunken fool
More bitter than the cold
Roastin' on the spit of love again
Well, I'm callin' on the Furies
And I'm basting on a bone
And it's a rage as old as Hades
You call it what you want
Callin' the Furies' carrion choir
Well, it's got me slowly turnin'
When your love's a cryin' shame
Somethin' 'bout that hollow in your eyes
The spit of love again
When I'll have finally had enough
Well, I'm callin' on the Furies
But it's lyin' just the same
But I stick around for more
Roastin' on the spit of love again
To let the toast begin
I'm roastin' on that spit of love again
Spit of love again
There's no mercy in these ashes, baby
Slinks in by me at the fire
There's a darkness at the core
In juices, all my own
Singin' me back upon the pyre
They're wonderin' if there'll ever come a day
