The Jaws of the World

I snatched you away from the jaws of the world

But I drank up her oceans and dried up her pearls

I acted reprehensibly

I acted like she was sent here for me

Gold in the water and under the water

The richer man gave his lovely daughter

For lack of decency

She robbed a thief like me

I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more

I would trust you, but trust is such a dirty word

I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more

Oh, I loved you, but love is like a dirty whore

Ahh-ooh

Ahh-ooh

Ahh-ooh

Ahh-ooh

Well I snatched her away from the jaws of the world

But I drank up her diamonds and I dried up her pearls

As I acted reprehensibly

I acted like she was made for me

And now into the water and under the water

I'm baptized with the neighbor's daughter

For a life of decency

She saved a wretch like me

I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more

I would trust you, but trust is such a dirty word

I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more

Oh, I loved you, but love is like a dirty whore

Ahh-ooh

Ahh-ooh

Ahh-ooh

Ahh-ooh
