Adam And Eve Lyrics - Dilate - Ani Difranco

Tonight you stoop to my level. 

I'm your mangy little whore. 

Now you're trying to find your underwear, 

And your socks, 

And then the door. 

And you're trying to find a reason 

Why you have to leave. 

I know it's 'cause you think you're Adam 

And you think I'm Eve. 

And you rhapsodize about beauty 

And my eyes glaze. 

Everything I love is ugly, 

I mean really 

You would be amazed. 

And just do me a favor, 

It's the least that you can do. 

Just um 

Don't treat me like I am 

Something that happened to you. 

I am, I am, I am 

Truly sorry, 

Sorry about all this. 

And you plot a tiny pin prick 

In my big red balloon. 

As I slowly start to exhale, 

It's when you leave the room. 

And 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, I am, I am 

Truly sorry about all this. 

I hear you and your anger hurts 

I hear that it's with, with 

With 

So I let go the ratio 

Things set, things hurt. 

As I leave you to your garden, 

And the beauty you prefer. 

I wonder whether this will have meaning 

For you, when you've left it all behind. 

I think I'll even wonder 

If you meant it at the time.
