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
