Adam And Eve - Lyrics by Difranco Ani


Lyrics
Tonight you stooped to my level,I am your mangy little whore,now you're trying to find your underwear,then your socks, and then the door.
And your trying to find a reasonwhy you have to leave.
But I know its cause you think you're Adamyou think I'm Eve.
You rhapsodize about beautymy eyes glazeeverything I love is ugly
I mean really, you would be amazed.
Just do me a favor,it's the least that you can do.
Just don't treat me like I amsomething that's happened to you.
Cause I am,I am truly sorry about all this.
You put a tiny pin prickin my big red balloon,and as I slowly start to exhale,that's when you leave the room.
And I did not design this game.I did not name the stakes,I just happen to like applesand am not afraid of snakes.
But I am,I am truly sorry about this.
And I envy you,your ignorance.I hear that its bliss.
So I let go the ratioof things said to hings heard,as I leave you to your garden,and the beauty you preferred.
And I wonder what of this will have meaningfor you when you've left it all behind.I think I'll even wonder if you meant it at the time.
