Spit of Love Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 There's a howlin at my window, baby

2 I hear him closin in

3 That green-eyed jackal's got the scent

4 Knows I'll let him in

5 He slinks in by me at the fire

6 More bitter than the cold

7 And it's a rage as old as Hades

8 That'll sputter on these coals

9 I'm callin on the Furies, to let the toast begin

10 I'm roasting on the spit of love again

11 I never have believed you

12 But I stick around for more

13 Somethin bout that hollow in your eyes

14 There's a darkness at the core

15 Well, it's got me slowly turnin

16 I'm basting on the bone

17 I'm skewered like some drunken fool

18 In juices all my own

19 Callin the Furies' carrion choir

20 Singin me back upon the pyre

21 I'm roasting on that spit of love again

22 You can call it what you want

23 But it's lyin just the same

24 There's no mercy in these ashes, baby

25 When your love's a cryin shame

26 And they're howlin in moonlight, baby

27 They're here to call my bluff

28 They're wonderin if there'll ever come a day

29 When I'll have finally had enough

30 I'm callin on the Furies, to let the toast begin

31 I'm roasting on that spit of love again
