From the recording A Drum Songs EP
Uplifting song about the history of jealousy. Uptempo beat with dance elements, electronic keyboards, rhythmic drums, pumping bass and synths.
Lyrics
She was a beauty carved in stone
That cut right through the bone
Surpassed the ladies of her day
Enjoyed her men without any pay
Her mother she could never beat
But she was too blind to see
Jealousy
It makes the world go round and round eternally
Jealousy
With a leopard by her side
An empress in full pride
Murders those who get in her way
Feeding the lions their human prey
But ambition was just another jail
That kept her from being free
Jealousy
It makes the world go round and round eternally
Jealousy
People believe any lie if it’s crazy enough
But fighting a religion really can be tough
Many years later a young boy tried the same
And just like you found only his mother to blame
He killed you in a fit of rage
Became a beast without a cage
Took a young man as his mistress
And clothed him into your dress
Jealousy
It makes the world go round and round eternally
Jealousy
