From the recording Chambanacon Live
Lyrics
Jezebel met Esther in a bar and over drinks
They traded stories ‘bout the kings they used to love
Until their vision blurred and all men looked the same
When it was dark
Lydia met Delilah after work, ran up a tab
Perfecting business plans they shared to rule the world
And laughed about the way they liked to close a sale
Through the night
Salomé’s waiting tables, platter in hand
While Deborah smokes the courthouse from her mind
Naomi keeps her daughter close ‘little longer than planned
And Leah’s still a lover to the blind
We are all sisters and sinners, trying to unwind
We are all sisters and sinners, girls, by our own design
Mary M met her mother in the back and wore a veil
To hide her face from anyone who knew her name
And she’s still jet-lagged so she’s drinking Cabernet
To remember
And it’s last call so ladies, drink up
This isn’t happy hour, honey
We’re at the crossroads of heaven and hell
And I don’t want your soul
But I’ll take your money ‘cause
Salomé’s waiting tables, platter in hand
While Deborah smokes the courthouse from her mind
Naomi keeps her daughter close ‘little longer than planned
And Leah’s still a lover to the blind
We are all sisters and sinners, trying to unwind
We are all sisters and sinners, girls, by our own design
3 AM: Eve and Lilith pool their tips and share a cab
They spend the night together, they’re comparing notes
Of married men that they’ve lost track of on the road
Saying
We are all sisters and sinners, trying to unwind
We are all sisters and sinners, girls, sparks of the divine
We are all sisters and sinners, girls, making up our minds
We are all sisters and sinners by our own design
