Lilith

Meg Hutchinson

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
