Jezebel of MTV Unplugged by 10000 Maniacs Lyrics
Jezebel Text Lyrics
[ merchant ]
[ cello: larry corbett/violin: bruce dukov/viola: pamela goldsmith/violin: ralph morrison (quartet arranged and conducted by paul buckmaster) ]
To think of my task is chilling.
To know i was carefully building the mask i was wearing for two years, swearing i´d tear it off.
I´ve sat in the dark explaining to myself that i´m straining too hard for feelings i ought to find easily.
Called myself jezebel.
I don´t believe.
Before i say that the vows we made weigh like a stone in my heart.
Family is family, don´t let this tear us apart.
You lie there, an innocent baby.
I feel like the thief who is raiding your home, entering and breaking and taking in every room.
I know your feelings are tender and that inside you the embers still glow.
But i´m a shadow, i´m only a bed of blackened coal.
Call myself jezebel for wanting to leave.
I´m not saying i´m replacing love for some other word to describe the sacred tie that bound me to you.
I´m just saying we´ve mistaken one for thousands of words.
And for that mistake, i´ve caused you such pain that i damn that word.
I´ve no more ways to hide that i´m a desolate and empty, hollow place inside.
I´m not saying i´m replacing love for some other word to describe the sacred tie that bound me to you.
I´m not saying love´s a plaything.
No, it´s a powerful word, inspired by strong desire to bind myself to you.
How i wish that we never had tried to be man and his wife, to weave our lives into a blindfold over both our eyes.
