Devil And The Deed Lyrics - Fragrant World - Yeasayer

I won't act until she's gone the way of violence 

Stare at pictures that I'm hiding in the attic 

How do you know, 

How could you ever know? 

There's a man who got caught in a trick now 

And I never see her lips being kissed on 

How do you know, 

How could you ever know? 

Maybe now it's harder 

If it was 40 years ago 

I would need it to sleep over 

Between the devil and the deed 

But I can't live without her, 

I got down and asked 

I could never let 

her get out of my hands 

You could never handle if she was into magic 

You could never stand it if she couldn't speak your language 

You wouldn't let yourself get mistaken for your whole clan 

Shake it out your big fat head 

Maybe here it's harder 

And it's a backwards country 

Where you need it to sleep together 

I'm between the devil and the deed 

But I can't live without her, 

I got down and asked 

I could never let 

her get out of my hands 

Maybe now it's harder 

If it was 40 years ago 

I would need it to sleep over 

I'm between the devil and the deed 

But I can't live without her, 

I got down and asked 

I could never let 

her get out of my hands
