Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve<br>
I think it's time for you to leave
I think it's time for you to leave<br>
 
I don't believe that we have met<br>
I don't believe that we have met
That's one thing you would not forget<br>
 
<br>
That's one thing you would not forget
In another time or life<br>
 
When I was his only wife<br>
 
When I was his only bride<br>
 
Before I was torn out from his side<br>
In another time or life
<br>
 
In the orchard apples are withering<br>
When I was his only wife
In the shadows something is slithering<br>
 
So go along there if you must<br>
When I was his only bride
And try to do as I suggest<br>
 
He's just a gathering of dust<br>
Before I was torn out from his side
<br>
 
And if he can't recall my name<br>
 
Tell him to take his time, it's worth recovering<br>
 
Look at me, and what I'm covered in<br>
In the orchard apples are withering
I'm covered in shame<br>
 
<br>
In the shadows something is slithering
I came back looking for my man<br>
 
Wandered everywhere and then<br>
So go along there if you must
Stood outside and gazed upon<br>
 
A beautiful garden, a shimmering pond<br>
And try to do as I suggest
<br>
 
See the sunlight on the leaves that dapple<br>
He's just the gathering of dust
Did you see my little teeth marks on the apple?<br>
 
Don't close the door on the hand I'm offering<br>
 
There is always someone on the outside doing all of the suffering<br>
 
<br>
And if he can recall my name
In the orchard, apples are withering<br>
 
In the shadows, something is slithering<br>
Tell him to take his time
But in another time or life<br>
 
When I was his only wife<br>
It's worth recovering
When I was his only bride<br>
 
Before I was torn out<br>
Look at me and what I'm covered in
Before I was torn out<br>
 
Before I was torn out<br>
I'm covered in shame
From his side<br>
 
<br>
 
Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve<br>
 
Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve<br>
I came back looking for my man
 
Wandered everywhere and then
 
Stood outside and gazed upon a beautiful garden
 
A shimmering pond
 
 
 
See the sunlight on the leaves that dapple
 
Did you see my little teeth marks on the apple
 
Don't close the door on the hand I'm offering
 
There is always someone on the outside doing all of the suffering
 
 
 
In the orchard apples are withering
 
In the shadows something is slithering
 
But in another time or life
 
When I was his only wife
 
When I was his only bride
 
Before I was torn out
 
Before I was torn out
 
Before I was torn out from his side
 
 
 
Pardon me, madam, my name is Eve
 
Pardon me, madam, my name is Eve
 
I think it's time for one of us to leave
I think it's time for one of us to leave

lyrics for
Pardon Me, Madam, My Name Is Eve

Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve
I think it's time for you to leave
I don't believe that we have met
That's one thing you would not forget

In another time or life
When I was his only wife
When I was his only bride
Before I was torn out from his side

In the orchard apples are withering
In the shadows something is slithering
So go along there if you must
And try to do as I suggest
He's just a gathering of dust

And if he can't recall my name
Tell him to take his time, it's worth recovering
Look at me, and what I'm covered in
I'm covered in shame

I came back looking for my man
Wandered everywhere and then
Stood outside and gazed upon
A beautiful garden, a shimmering pond

See the sunlight on the leaves that dapple
Did you see my little teeth marks on the apple?
Don't close the door on the hand I'm offering
There is always someone on the outside doing all of the suffering

In the orchard, apples are withering
In the shadows, something is slithering
But in another time or life
When I was his only wife
When I was his only bride
Before I was torn out
Before I was torn out
Before I was torn out
From his side

Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve
Pardon me, Madam, my name is Eve
I think it's time for one of us to leave
