Always the Woman Lyrics by Alyse Alan Louis

Teeth (Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording)

2024

[DAWN]
The devil called me down to the lake
I thought that he was you but I made a mistake
I was too eager and could not see
The trap that he had lain for me
But that’s a cop out—i played my part
By tempting Tobey with the promise of my heart
How long have I had this blind spot?
It was so simple, still I forgot ...
It’s always the woman
The devil will claim
It’s always the woman
Her birthright is shame
Her body’s desire
The cause of her chastening
The genesis of
The genesis of
All suffering
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRL TRISHA, spoken]
Since the beginning
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRL STEPHANIE, spoken]
It's in your DNA
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRL KEKE, spoken]
Your mother’s DNA
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRL RACHAEL, spoken]
Your mother passed her wantonness down to you as hers did to her
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRL BECKY, spoken]
From mother to daughter and to all mankind
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRL FIONA, spoken]
The root of all evil. The fruit of all evil. In your body
[PROMISE KEEPER GIRLS]
Your body
[DAWN]
The serpent slithered down through the years
I didn’t hear his subtle hissing in my ears
Though I loved Tobey I believe
I caused his downfall
I’m just like eve
And just like eve my body’s been cursed
And I don’t know if it can be reversed
And the serpent wears a new disguise
He’s clothed in flesh between my thighs
‘Cause it’s always the woman
The serpent distracts
It’s always the woman
The serpent attracts
That's why I am cursed
Why I am cursed
I ate the fruit
I wasn't coerced
I disobeyed
I disobeyed
I beg you Father God
I'm so afraid
Don't desert Me
Please let me alone
But if you can't forgive me
If you just can't heal me
I pray that you won't leave me alone
