Yeasayer - Devil And The Deed lyrics

I won't act until she's gone the way of violence Stare at pictures that I'm hiding in their 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 forty 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 if she couldn't speak your language She 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 here it's harder If it was forty 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
