The Jaws of the World

And I snatched her 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

We go into the water
and under the water
and a wretched man gave his lovely daughter
from a life of decency
to half a thief like me

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

And I snatched her away from the jaws of the world
but I drank up her diamonds and dried up her pearls
I acted reprehensibly
I acted like she was made for me

We go into the water
and under the water
and baptized with the neighbor's daughter
from a life of decency
she saved a wretch like me

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