lyrics

There are plums on the kitchen table
And Adam’s outside.
There’s plums on the kitchen table
Like five black eyes.
And Eve’s pursing her lips.
And Eve’s tracing her palms.
Eve picks up a plum,
And everything goes horribly wrong.

And Adam says
“Lillith swim back to me
Didn’t we slither?
Didn’t we bury ourselves?
For I’m just a grey dog.
All fangs, and fur, and fight.
Didn’t we wander?
Didn’t we howl?

Eve stole my bones.
Eve stole my bones.
But you have my soul
In the pit of a plum.”
