lyrics

Sworn lover of a bastard child
she sold her diamonds to save her soul
she had a spirit running wild
she took her chances out on the road
promised never to return back home

the most desired woman alive
they took a liking to the fire in her eyes
she pulled them in with a flash of skin
and left them burning from within
yes she's dangerous and her touch is purely sin

evangeline and the crooked spines
they're coming in and they're coming for you
evangeline and the crooked spines
they've got a notion and a taste for disaster

evangeline was to be my wife
we left our homes to be by her side
her touch was cold, colder than ice
to hear her voice made it feel so right
but something went wrong I hadn't seen her in months

the last I heard she changed her name
left LA with the take from our fame
bought a ticket to a city unknown
and all she left was one simple note
it said I'm sorry I left, one day I will return

Evangeline was the girl of my dreams
she was my only queen
and I won't rest until she's back in my arms
