"The Hungry Saw" lyrics

"The Hungry Saw"

Needs must when the devil drives
He's been driving me all the way
He's got a hungry saw
He wants to tear it all up now

A gramme of speed and a one-night stand
I left my baby in the devil's hands
He's got a hungry saw
He wants to tear it all up now
He's got a hungry saw

The first cut is the skin
The second is the muscle
And there's a crack of the bone
And he's at your heart
Yeah, there's a crack of the bone
And he's at your heart

Hello darkness, my old friend
It's time to jerk those tears again
And he works that saw
So painlessly
Oh, those devil's hands

Those devil's hands (oh no)
I feel them on my skin
And I love them so
Those devil's hands

The first cut is the skin
The second is the muscle
And there's a crack of the bone

The first cut is the skin
The second is the muscle
And there's a crack of the bone
And he's at your heart
Yeah, there's a crack of the bone
And he's at your heart

And there's no need to phone home
'Cause your mama's out with someone who ain't your dad
Those devil's hands (oh no)
Those devil's hands
