The Devil and the Jinn

Joe Pernice

Love is a shoe-less charlatan
A silver-tongued huckster with a sadist’s lip-less grin
Love is the breaking of a bone
A burning cauliflower ear still throbbing on the telephone

No matter what you do
It slithers back to you
It's not enough to leave
It's not enough to be left

Love is, the Devil and the Jinn
A brazen changing problem
It's a fight you never ever win

Love is, a cruel company store
A trans-global disaster
It's a meltdown to the core

No matter what you do
It slithers back to you
It's not enough to leave
It's not enough to be left

Despite a college try
It paints a sorry sign
You piss away your life
Writing stupid songs that try to say what
Love is!

Despite a college try
It paints a sorry sign
You piss away your life
Writing stupid songs that try to say what
Love is!

And when it comes you had better let it in
Go wipe the lamb blood off your door novenas don't work anymore
And when it comes you'd better kiss its feet and beg
Please let me come with you
From "love me not" to "love me do"

Love is the Devil and the Jinn
Love is the Devil and the Jinn
Love is the Devil and the Jinn
Love is the Devil and the Jinn
Love is the Devil and the Jinn
Love is the Devil and the Jinn
Love is the Devil and the Jinn
Love is—
