Angels And Devils The Following Day Lyrics - Mythical Kings & Iguanas/reflections In A Mud Puddle - Dory Previn

loved i two men 

equally well 

though they were diff'rent 

as heaven and hell 

one was an artist 

one drove a truck 

one would make love 

the other would fuck 

each treated me 

the way he knew best 

one held me lightly 

one bruised my breast 

and i responded 

on two diff'rent levels 

like children reacting 

to angels and devils 

one was a poet 

who sang and read verse 

one was a peasant 

who drank and who cursed 

before you decide 

who's cruel and who's kind 

let me explain 

what i felt 

in my heart and my mind... 

the artist was tender 

but suffered from guilt 

making him sorry 

the following day 

and he made me feel guilty 

the very same way 

in his bed on the following day 

the other would take me 

and feel no remorse 

he'd wake with a smile 

in the bed where we lay 

and he made me smile 

in the very same way 

in his bed on the following day 

the blow to my soul 

by fear and taboos 

cut deeper far 

than a bodily bruise 

and the one who was gentle 

hurt me much more 

than the one who was rough 

and made love on the floor.
