adam was a man - violent femmes lyrics
[verse 1]
adam was a man
just like you or me
he did not do what he’s supposed to
and he cries internally
[chorus]
there’s horror in paradise
in the garden of delight
where sorrow can paralyze
the will to want the right
[verse 2]
eve was a woman
just like you or me
she did not do what she’s supposed to
and she cries eternally
[chorus]
there’s trouble in paradise
in the pathways of delight
where the rubble blocks the road of life
there’s no light to light in the night
[verse 3]
what about that snake?
oh, snake was an animal
almost like you or me
he said to do what we’re not supposed to
and he lies so reasonably
[chorus]
because there’s madness in paradise
the asylum of delight
and gladness breaks no morning light
by my broken will and might
[verse 4]
oh, god was god
not like you or me
he always does and he does just because
so we hope he stays so friendly
[chorus]
he’s the tailor of paradise
in the sweatshops of delight
clothing a pair of eyes
and the beauty of wrong and right
[outro]
adam was a man
just like you or me
