The Adultress

I'm the adulteress but I didn't want to be

But I'm convenient and I make good tea

I stand accused of the worst crime in history

That's my mystery, I'm the adulteress



I go to the park with a bag of crumbs for the birds

That's where we meet without words

He takes my hand and stares into the wood

There's nothing to understand, it's understood I'm the adulteress



Look at the fool

Made up to go out

She's desperate and lonely

But she's puttin' it about



Look at the spinster

Comin' down off the shelf

She's in love

And she hates herself



Don't try to stop me, don't get in my way

It's too late, I've made my play

Does misery love company?

I'll be in the bar, you'll find me
