In Eve's Skin

Finished my new song today. John says it sounds like "Jammin", by Bob Marley played by Tori Amos. Haha. I didn't take influence from his song, but surely am not insulted.

This was inspired by a conversation I had with my friend Hope, as she told me about a conversation her family had about girls being too quick to throw out reason if a boy pays attention to them. :)

In Eve's Skin

Bird found an apple in a garden
But the meat is forbidden
All the curves hung from the saplings
Suddenly found herself famished

Serpent crept on Birds shoulder
“I know this cool cat,” he told her
“Pure and curious just like you.”
But she desired for a stranger fruit

“Eat from this, I insist.”

Her animal side has a hunger that won’t subside
Her appetite has awoken from deep inside
And Bird says,
“Don’t need a man, I need some apple pie.”

Birds flying through the orchard now
When she hears that cool cats meow
He’s hanging from those tree limbs
Birds looking like a meal to him

“Don’t you ever get distracted
When cats and snakes are wicked?”
Bird says with her innocence.
“That strange fruit I can’t resist”

“Eat from this, I insist.”

Her animal side has a hunger that won’t subside
Her appetite has awoken from deep inside
And Bird says,
“Don’t need a man, I need some apple pie.”

"You're sweet as pie, my sweetie pie"
But any boy can swing round
Easy as pie

Too apt to purr at strangers praise
Birdy became amenities
She ripens from saint to sin
But are we guilty as Eve’s kin?

“Eat from this, I insist.”

A womans pride can only take so much at a time
Our animal side has a hunger that won’t be denied
Cause Bird said,
“Don’t need a man, I need some apple pie.”
