The Hungry Saw Songtext

von Tindersticks

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 gram of speed and a one-night stand
I left my baby in the devils hands
He's got an 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
There's a crack of the bone
And he's at your heart
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 devils hands
Those devils hands … (oh no)
I feel them on my skin
And I love them so …
Those devils hands

(2x)
The first cut is the skin
The second is the muscle
There's a crack of the bone

And he's at your heart
There's a crack of the bone
And he's at your heart

And there's no need to 'phone home
'Cos your mother's out, with someone who ain't your dad

Those devils hands … (oh no)
Those devils hands …
