Dancing with the devil
Around a fire
Mess your mama's bed
For a little more magic
Make you want to run around naked
Cause you know it looks good on you
But you ain't never had
My cornbread
A little bit heaven and a little bit of, oh yeah
Cut it down the middle
Open wide and jump right in
You all got to give your love
And jump off from the darkness
And the best one up that lights your darkness
Cause the joy is steeped in sin
The old man, he come running around here
Looking for the sinner who took his baby
And I'm gonna tell you that it was me
And the joy was steeped in sin
It soars inside
My soul before you
All the innocence is well and vile
Oh and so the darkness lullaby
The innocence will make you wild
Dancing with the devil
Around a fire
Mess your mama's bed
For a little more magic
Make you want to run around naked
Cause you know it looks good on you
But you ain't never had
My cornbread
A little bit heaven and a little bit of hell
Cut it down the middle
Open wide and jump right in
Oh no no, I'm taking a chance
Gonna get caught
Running out of town
Because they make me mad
The joy is steeped in sin
Preacher man said
You watch your vault
But behind that curtain
He's getting it all
Get what he wants
The children calls
The joy is steeped in sin
It soars inside my soul
Because of you
All the innocence just makes me wild
All fine as...
It's all inside I think
Going over there
You love that we want
Make to better
What please tell me friend
This love I do pretend
This one is better than the other
Dancing with the devil
Around a fire
Mess your mama's bed
For a little more magic
Make you want to run around naked
Cause you know it looks good on you
But you ain't never had
My cornbread
A little bit heaven and a little bit of hell
Cut it down the middle
Open wide and jump right in
It soars inside the dark for me
All the innocence will make you lie
All will laugh
It's got me now
It's all inside...
It's all inside you...
It's all inside
Make you happy baby
It's all inside you
It's all inside you
What you need to make you happy
It's all inside your head
Dancing with the devil
Around a fire
Mess your mama's bed
For a little more magic
Make you want to run around naked
Cause you know it looks good on you
But you ain't never had
My cornbread
A little bit heaven and a little bit of hell
Cut it down the middle
Open wide and jump right in
You all got to give you love
And jump off from the darkness
And the best one up that lights your dark
Cause the joy is steeped in sin
The old man, he come running around here
Looking for the sinner who took his baby
And I'm gonna tell you that it was me
And the joy was steeped in sin
It soars inside
My soul before you
All the innocence is well and vile
Oh and so the darkness lullaby
The innocence will make you wild
Dancing with the devil
Aound a fire
Mess your mama's bed
For a little more magic
Make you want to run around naked
Cause you know it looks good on you
But you ain't never had
My cornbread
A little bit heaven and a little bit of hell
Cut it down the middle
Open wide and jump right in
Oh no no, I'm taking a chance
Gonna get caught
Running out of town

The joy is steeped in sin
