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 1] 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 do And she cries eternally [Chorus 2] 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 (What about that snake?) [Verse 3] Snake was an animal Almost like you or me He said to do what we're no supposed to And he lies so reasonably [Chorus 3] Because there's madness in Paradise The asylum of delight And gladness breaks no morning light [?] broken will and might [Verse 4] God was God Not like you or me He always does and he does just because So we hope he stays so friendly [Chorus 4] 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
