Also, it's interesting how Joni mentioned the "diamond snake around my arm" along with the apple of temptation. In the Biblical account Eve was tempted to eat the fruit by Satan in the form of a serpent. Does the diamond snake represent being coiled in the glitz of show business which looks great on the surface but is (in Joni's words) "a cesspool"? A snake encircling one's arm would seem to be a python, which of course crushes its prey (Joni feeling crushed?). I also had the image of "put out to pasture" coming at the end. Is Joni alluding to the music biz passing her by for the next big thing? Lots to ponder in this dense song.
