lyrics

there's a sinner amongst you - turn away
she'll bring god's wrath against you - turn away
there's a fire down below
you might reap what she sows
turn away, i'm coming, turn away

turn away, turn away, turn away
turn away, turn away, turn away
there's a fire, there's a fire
i'm a devil for hire
turn away, i'm coming, turn away

i'm a woman's done bad things - turn away
i'm a woman's seen sad things - turn away
there's a fire waits for him
who shows mercy to sin
turn away, i'm coming, turn away

ever since i was a young girl
all i wanted was to love
i'd search every day
and nights i would pray
it would come to me
but now the world is broken
its just dust beneath my feet
and each day my name
is taken in vain
by the trash that blows down the streets

these lips have know pleasure - turn away
there was joy without measure - turn away
there was a fire deep inside
and i was its bride
turn away, i'm coming, turn away

turn away, turn away, turn away
turn away, turn away, turn away
there's a fire, there's a fire
i'm a devil for hire
turn away, i'm coming, turn away
there's a fire, there's a fire
i'm a devil for hire
turn away, i'm coming, turn away

Alacartoona Kansas City, Missouri

Alacartoona's stage show is a visual extension of their all-original songbook. Utilizing a stripped down ensemble of accordion, bass, and drums, with the occasional guitar or brass, they bring to life vivid tales of love and loss, of bedrooms and back alleys, of the solitude and the camaraderie of sex, drugs and cabaret. ... more
