Lilith

Lilith says gravity is nothing to fear

She's been talking to angels

Trying to find a way, to leave here

She borrows, steels a smile, but she will not beg

For grace, to let her fly this place

She's made of more than borrowed bone

And of another's perfect ghosts

I don't want to be lived with

I don't want to be longed for

I don't want to be lived with

I don't want to long for

Lilith is wicked, 'cause she asks for more

And her eyes are on Eden's door, ready for the fall

He offers her silence, and they call it bliss

Isn't it enough, to be desired in the pretty place?

But heaven's orphan's on the run

She's too busy to give apples to anyone

She's a misunderstood myth in some new age bookstore

And they're baring their breasts at the Lilith fair

We're all a little too worried about our hair...

I don't want to be lived with

I don't want to be longed for

I don't want to be lived with

I don't want to long for

Why is she wicked, 'cause she asks for more

She says, "I'll make my way down below"

And her love is all disorder

And her eyes are on Eden's door, ready for the fall

She's gonna come down hard oh, she's gonna come down hard...

Somewhere in our blood, there's a woman of the earth

With her difficult eyes, with her rags and her dirt

She's howling questions at the sky

She calls you to yourself in the middle of the night
