Devil and the Deed - Yeasayer

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 have another?

There’s a man who got caught in a trick match

And I never see her lips being kissed on

How do you know

How could you have another?

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 nothing else

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

She wouldn’t like this again, mistaken for your whole plan

Shake it at your big fat head

Maybe here it’s harder

And it’s a backwards country

Where you need to sleep together

I’m between the devil and the deed
