[Verse 1]
E A C#m
Wrapped in the wings of a sparrow
D A Amaj7
Beak is as sharp as an arrow
E A C#m
Sings in a whispering whistle
D A Amaj7
Sleeps in the ivy and thistle
E A C#m
Owls out swooping and howling
D A Amaj7
Deep in the midnight a-prowling
E A C#m
Mama, the scream of the eagle
D A Amaj7
Threading my heart through the needle
E A C#m
Threading the blood through the apple
D A Amaj7
Sucking the juice from the apple
E A C#m
Eating the seeds of the apple
D A Amaj7
Bearing the tree of the apple
E A C#m
Trapped in the weeds like a scarecrow
D A Amaj7
Stuck to the wind like Velcro
E A C#m
Distantly hearing the bell toll
D A Amaj7
Warbling chime through the meadow

Eve sucked the juice from the apple
E A C#m
Nakedly running, I saw her
D A Amaj7
Boy chasing after to stall her
E A C#m
I wish I'd have spoken to call her
D A Amaj7
Before she found fabric to shawl her
E A C#m
Breasts bound and burdened with fiber
D A Amaj7
Adam came trembling beside her

And he said, and he said
E A C#m
That she has the poison inside her
D A Amaj7
She talks to snakes and they guide her
E A C#m
She has the poison inside her
D A Amaj7
She talks to snakes and they guide her
E A C#m
She has the poison inside her
D A Amaj7
She talks to snakes and they guide her
E A C#m
She has the poison inside her

She talks to snakes and they guide her
