regina spektor - The Devil Come To Bethlehem (Live)

Lyrics:

Joseph and mary are so bad
Kissing in the park, Kissing in the park, Kissing in the park
He practices dentistry without a license
But its alright cause mary read the books and shes got his back
Theyre saving up for a trip to france...
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

But the devil come to bethlehem
With a bible and an alarm clock
The devil come to bethlehem
And he aint afraid of the dark

Joseph and Mary are so sad
Sitting in a park in paris, france reading the news and it sure looks bad
A pile of empty postcards on their laps
Nothing bright to write and nothing good to send

But the devil come to Bethlehem
With a bible and an alarm clock
The devil come to Bethlehem
And he aint afraid of the darkness
is less frightening than
the nightness is less frightening than
the dark

Joseph and Mary are so dead
Honest, its been years, its been years, its been many, many years
All their descendants are long buried and gone
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
He aint afraid of the darkness
is less frightening than
the lightness is less frightening than
the darkness is less frightening than
the lightness is less frightening than
the dark

(The abrupt ending is as it is in the original recording)

Top class. Regina Spektor is the most talented singer in this world. I have no words to describe this woman. This song. This voice. THIS VOICE.

When I die, whenever that is, I hope to God that I die listening to her music, because I would die smiling and completely at peace with this world and the next and the next and the next.

[MIMIandCALLIE]

Oh she's just so adorable! I'm obsessed

[Lilyfloss]

@JuliansuSaganias I think she's saying "I wonder if i can play this song" but i don't know for sure

[JuliansuSaganias]

What does she say at the beggining? I like to hear "I know I can do this", but I don't know if that's actualy what she says or not haha.

lmfaoo i just started listening to joni and dieddd when i hear this regins song! love youu regggii <3

[xxxxxxxxKatexxxxxxxx]

I love this song :)

The recording that I downloaded off Respektonline sounds exactly like this one but isn't cut off.

[rad941205]

sounds weired but i kinda like how it gets cut off at the end, makes it very Regina - in my opinion x

[CosmosOfBeauty]

I heard she was pretty heavily influenced by Joni. It makes sense because they both have offbeat lyrics.

[evamarimo]

ZOMG! Joni Mitchell reference!!!

[padmavati108]

is there any way to upload the full song with the ending? this song is so powerful and incredible!
