lyrics

Evangeline

I traded in
domestic din
For opportunities in excess and in sin
And I succumb
To the privileges of living in Sodom

The baccannal
I had it all
Until a confrontation ended in a brawl
I lost her trust,
became a slave unto unbridled lust

Evangeline, you know you’re always gonna be my love divine
But this routine- has left the fruit to wither on the vine
Tiring of faking saccharine

The faithful spouse
thought me a louse
Threatened divorce, taking the kids, the cars, the house
She wanted half-
and so I quickly drowned her in the bath

Evangeline, you know you’re always gonna be my mi amor
A love pristine, now you’ve gone to reap your just rewards
Beauty buried ‘neath the floorboards

SOLO

Some time has gone-
and I moved on
Managed to become another woman’s pawn
So I begin-
Reopening the ground to tuck her in

I once was blessed-
I must confess
Stunned by the beauty Evangeline possessed
Gave her a peck-
and felt her hands contract around my neck

Evangeline, you know you’re always gonna be my mi amor
A love pristine, Now you’re back to even up the score
Forever bound beneath the floorboards (2*)
R. Bell 7/4/11
