At Home With the Animals Ryan Adams

[Verse 1]
While you were reading the black Bible in the sun
I was half drunk out the window of a moving city bus
Wilder than the devil, like a tiger in the brush
Louder than an atom bomb that only you could hush
Spinning like the Earth and Moon, but never really touched
Alone, the ways I wanted to be loved
You were not enough

[Verse 2]
While your head was bowed and hands praying to God
I was swinging from the chandeliers like some endangered animal
Somewherе in New Orleans on the run
Likе I just won the lottery, with God-knows-what inside of me
Hair a mess and shoelaces undone
Of all the ways I wanted you
You were not the one

[Verse 3]
While they were teaching you how Moses split the sea
I was in an airplane bathroom doing speedballs off the sink
High as any angel moving at the speed of sound
Someplace over Germany, moving through the clouds
Winking back at stewardesses, supplying me with ale
Big-hooped golden earrings, staying at the same hotel
Of all the ways I wanted you to hold me
I could not be held
