Regina Spektor - Devil Come To Bethlehem lyrics

rate me

Joseph and Mary are so bad

Kissin' in the park, kissin' in the park, kissin' in the park

He practices dentistry without a license

But it's alright 'cause Mary read the books and she's got his back

They're saving up for a trip to Frah-ah-ance

Gonna leave the baby with one of the in-laws

Just long enough to see the Eiffel Tower and back

Wear red scarf and booze on the airplane

The Devil come to Bethlehem

With a Bible and an alarm clock

The Devil come to Bethlehem

And he ain't afraid of the dark

Joseph and Mary are so sad

Sittin' in a park in Paris, France, reading the news, and it sure looks bad

A pile of empty postcards on their lah-ah-ap

Nothing bright to write and nothing good to send

The Devil come to Bethlehem

With a Bible and an alarm clock

The Devil come to Bethlehem

And he ain't afraid of the

dark... ... ness is less frightening than

The lightness is less frightening than

The dark

Joseph and Mary are so dead

Honest, it's been years, it's been years, it's been many, many years

All their descendants are long buried and gone

And their closest blood relative works in a Philadelphia Sears

Walking on water in his own bathtub

Turning that water to wine

The Devil come to Bethlehem

With a Bible and an alarm clock

The Devil come to Bethlehem

And he ain't afraid of the

dark... ... ness is less frightening than

The lightness is less frightening than

The darkness is less frightening than

The lightness is less frightening than

The dark
