Devil’s Rodeo versuri

Versuri Diamanda Galás – Devil’s Rodeo lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say that I treat you all the same
That those who leave must have no shame
And I’m the girl who runs this game
At the devil’s rodeo

You say, “my love, that’s right, he do
But you may be just what I need”
An old romance, I’ll take the lead
At the devil’s rodeo

[Chorus]
My heart is empty, but I’m free
What’s yours is mine, I’m sure you’ll see
My love comes with a guarantee
At the devil’s rodeo

You say, “Lovita’s full of greed”
You say her love’s an evil scene
She’ll prey on my mind, know what I need
The devil’s rodeo

[Chorus]
My heart is empty, but I’m free
What’s yours is mine, I’m sure you’ll see
My love comes with a guarantee
At the devil’s rodeo

You say, “you know Vita’s full of greed”
You say her love’s an evil scene
To bring my man back to his knees1
At the devil’s rodeo

[Verse 2]
You had me full time, but you bleed
Down, begging for your liberty
“Oh, please, Lovita, set me free”
At the devil’s rodeo

They say she use her men with fear
And when you lose, there’s no one here
But all is fair in love, my dear
At the lovers’ rodeo

[Chorus]
My heart is empty, but I’m free
What’s yours is mine, you will agree
My love comes with no guarantee
At the devil’s rodeo

They say Lovita’s full of greed
They say her love’s an evil scene
Bring the guesses out of me
At the devil’s rodeo

[Verse 3]
When it’s over, make your bed
But don’t you leave her, or you’re dead
It’s best for you to keep your head
At the devil’s rodeo

So leave this house, there’s no reprieve
I’ve never seen her lose a lead
Lovita makes a man believe
At the devil’s rodeo

[Chorus]
My heart is empty but I’m free
What’s yours is mine, you will agree
And my love comes with no guarantee
At the devil’s rodeo

And when it’s over, make your bed
But don’t you leave her, or you’re dead
It’s best for you to keep your head
At the devil’s rodeo

(Ram it up, Sammy!)
