Jezebel Blues Lyrics

It started with a sin and what a way to begin

We were children made of dust and made of stone

I reach for the fruit what does forbidden mean?

He says stop but I implore

The serpent looks inside me and sees what I desire

All I want is to be left alone

There you are smiling back at me

And here I am my complacency

Is holding me down is holding me back

There you are and here I am

If this is the sin that does this here Jezebel in

I will not speak let alone pray to you

So I ran to the sea where I could be alone silently

Salt fused into a second skin around me

But unlike me these waters go where they want to be

Ocean river lunar tide - take me away!

But there you are laughing and pointing at me

And here I am my complacency

Is holding me down is holding me back

There you are and here I am

There you are here I am

"Pray!" he says "It's called praying" he says

But it feels just like any other transaction

I only seem to get your attention when I'm down on my knees

Now isn't that saying something?

But there you are waiting impatiently for me

And here I am finally walking away from this shit you're

Not holding me down anymore

Not holding me back

There you are and here I am

Here I am
