Lyrics - Adam & Eve by Ani Difranco

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
