"Beats The Devil" lyrics
The Burrito Brothers Lyrics
"Beats The Devil"
"Damned if I will" said Adam to Eve
For making a mess with a tree
Forbidden fruit from some snake in the grass
Just ain't my cup of tea
Then Eve turned to Adam and she said with a smile
"I'm gonna make you believe"
Well, there will be tears in paradise
And they'll be all about Eve
Woo...
Damned if you do and damned if you don't
It's the original sin
How come a boy keeps chasing a girl
Until she catches him?
Beats the devil out of me!
Beats the devil out of me!
"Oh, light from yonder window breaks"
Said Romeo to Juliet
"This family feud ain't our mistake
And I love you truly, yeah"
Well, two crazy kids back in old Italy
They had to alter their plans
So Romeo followed Juliet
All the way to the promised lands
Damned if you do and damned if you don't
It's the original sin
How come a boy keeps chasing a girl
Until she catches him?
Beats the devil out of me!
Beats the devil out of me!
Well, beats the devil out of me
Well, beats the devil out of me
Oh...
So when it comes down to you and me
We come from a long line of lovers
Who've managed to make some history
Right there between the covers
And you can always be my queen
And I am always a king
Keep in mind that it's not our fault
It's a chromosomal thing
Damned if you do and damned if you don't
Well, it's the original sin
How come the boy keeps chasing that girl
Until she catches him?
Beats the devil out of me!
Beats the devil out of me!
Well, beats the devil out of me
Well, beats the devil out of me

Her harlequin hovers nearby
Awaiting a word

Wordlessly watching

And the tubes they glow in the dark

And I'm all...

Jerry Garcia - "The Wheel" The wheel is turning and you can't slow down
You can't let go and you can't hold on
You can't go back and you can't stand still
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will
Won't you try...
