[C#] [Fm]
[F#] [C#]
[G#] Ripped in the wings of [C#] a [Fm] sparrow,
[F#] beak is as sharp [C#] as an [Fm] arrow.
[G#] Sings in a whispering [C#] [Fm] whistle,
[F#] sleeps in the ivy [C#] and [Fm] thistle.
[G#] Owls out swooping [C#] and [Fm] howling,
[F#] deep in the [C#] midnight are [Fm] prowling.
[G#] Mama, the scream of [C#] the [Fm] eagle,
[F#] threading my heart to [C#] the needle.
[G#] Threading the blood to the [Fm] apple,
[F#] sucking the juice [C#] from the [Fm] apple.
[G#] Eating the seeds of [C#] the [Fm] apple,
[F#] burying the tree [C#] of the apple.
[G#] Trapped in the weeds like [C#] a [Fm] scarecrow,
[F#] stuck to the wind [C#] like [G#] Velcro.
Distantly hearing [C#] the [Fm] bell toll,
[F#] warbling chimes through [C#] the [G#] meadow.
Mama, the scream of [C#] the [Fm] eagle,
[F#] threading my heart to [C#] the needle.
[Fm]
[G#] Threading the blood to [C#] the [Fm] apple,
[F#] Eve sucked the juice from [C#] the [Fm] apple.
[G#] Nakedly running [C#] I saw [Fm] her, [F#] boy chasing after [C#] to stall [Fm] her.
[G#] I wish I'd have spoken to [C#] call [Fm] her, [F#] before she found fabric [C#] to shawl her.
[G#] Breasts bound and burdened [C#] with [Fm] fiber,
[F#] Adam came trembling [C#] beside her.
And he said, [G#] she has the poison
[C#] inside [Fm] her.
[F#] She talks to snakes and [C#] they guide her.
[G#] She has the poison [C#] inside [Fm] her.
[F#] She talks to snakes and [C#] they guide [Fm] her.
[G#] She has the poison [C#] inside [Fm] her.
