There’s a howlin at my window, baby   I hear him closin in   That green-eyed jackal’s got the scent   Knows I’ll let him in   He slinks in by me at the fire   More bitter than the cold   And it’s a rage as old as hades   That’ll sputter on these coals   I’m callin on the furies, to let the toast begin   I’m roasting on the spit of love again   I never have believed you   But I stick around for more   Somethin bout that hollow in your eyes   There’s a darkness at the core   Well, it’s got me slowly turnin   I’m basting on the bone   I’m skewered like some drunken fool   In juices all my own   Callin the furies’ carrion choir   Singin me back upon the pyre   I’m roasting on that spit of love again   You can call it what you want   But it’s lyin just the same   There’s no mercy in these ashes, baby   When your love’s a cryin shame   And they’re howlin in moonlight, baby   They’re here to call my bluff   They’re wonderin if there’ll ever come a day   When I’ll have finally had enough   I’m callin on the furies, to let the toast begin   I’m roasting on that spit of love again
