lyrics

My love he's a wild one
He's a shaman in the age of science
A scream that breaks the silence and sets my winter's heart ablaze.
But the devil he's a sly one
And how my wretched heart it aches
For the wicked tempt my baby and they lead his heart astray.
And one thing never changes
It's pull devil, pull baker.

It's either misery or elation
as he plays his gambling games
and love's intoxication and the bottle's are the same
And I barely recognize him as he rolls his eyes and walks away
and stumbles and he rises up again and again and again.
And I don't know if I can take it.
It's pull devil, pull baker.


Well he is strong and he is able and my heart he surely keeps
But the wicked they tempt my baby and then my heart he is weak.
And I beg him and I hold him tight but he swears that he must go.
And then my baby he goes a rambling and he leaves me all along.
And he leaves me all alone.
And he leaves me all alone.
