Adam And Eve Lyrics

The song Adam And Eve is performed by Ani Difranco in the album named Dilate in the year 1996 .



Tonight, you stooped to my level
I am your mangy little whore
You are trying to find your underwear
And then your socks and then the door

And you're trying to find a reason
Why you have to leave
I know it's 'cuz you think you're Adam
And you think I'm Eve

You rhapsodize about beauty
And my eyes glaze
Everything that 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 am
Something that happened to you

I am truly sorry about all this

You put a tiny pinprick
In my big red balloon
And as I slowly start to exhale
That's when you leave the room

I did not design this game
I did not name the stakes
I just happen to like apples
And I am not afraid of snakes

I am truly sorry about all this
I envy your ignorance
I hear that it's bliss

So, I let go of the ratio of things
Said to things heard
And I leave you to your garden
And the beauty you preferred

And I wonder what of this
Will have meaning for you
When you've left it all behind
I guess, I'll even wonder
If you meant it at the time
