Lyrics

Adam Was A Man

Adam was a man Just like you or me He did not do what he's supposed to And he cries internally

There's horror in Paradise In the garden of delight Where sorrow can paralyze The will to want the right

Eve was a woman Just like you or me She did not do what she's supposed to And she cries eternally

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? 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

Because there's madness in Paradise The asylum of delight And gladness breaks no morning light By my broken will and might

Oh, God was God Not like you or me He always does and he does just because So we hope he stays so friendly He's the tailor of Paradise In the sweatshops of delight Clothing a pair of eyes And the beauty of wrong and right

Adam was a man Just like you or me
