The Palmer Squares – Back To Eden lyrics

[Chorus]
Going back to Eden, Adam, Eve and I
Going back to Eden, pack your bags, we leave tonight
Going back, going back, going back to the Garden
Going back to where my heart is at
Back to where it started, going back

[Verse 1: Acumental]
I've been burning a candle at both ends
Cannabis, no stems, I'm back in a smoke-sesh
Feasting east of Eden, we happily broke bread
Inhabit the homestead and chat with an old friend
Fleeing the interview, leaving the pigeon coop
Singing a different tune, no me if there isn't you
I'm a deity, can't deny that I feel like a damn messiah
Been keepin' a balanced diet, don't eat the forbidden fruit
Born in the north, I flee to Eden from Singapore
Venus of Willendorf, eatin' veal off a dinner fork
Salmon in my salad, simmer shrimp and sip a shandy
Scallops in the kitchen, never skimpy with the scampi
Going back to Eden, I'm a traveller
Lather me with Lavender and leave me here to linger on the planet Earth
No parameters, floatin' above the Ocean
Composing another opus to be added to the masterworks
Ac' and Term'll open up a can of worms
Told that our combat of words and known for making matters worse
Necromancer massacring amateurs
Pre-Madonna praying on the Rosary, I'm back in Church

[Chorus]
Going back to Eden, Adam, Eve and I
Going back to Eden, pack your bags, we leave tonight
Going back, going back, going back to the Garden
Going back to where my heart is at
Back to where it started, going back

[Verse 2: Terminal Knowledge]
Going back to eatin' like I'm anorexic
Those who can't believe it leave their last impression
Fuck a first impression, wasn't worth a blessing
I'm going back to Eden like I'm Adam
Get a leaf, burning bush got me talkin' to God
I heard a "shush", I turn and look and He's gone
I guess my logic was flawed
Whether or not, I'm a fraud, let's set the record straight
If haters talkin' shit, then let 'em defecate
I'm going back to Eden like I got a halo
Rollin' past the Edens while I'm on my way home
So I pass between 'em like a hot potato
No one asked to see me but I got to say so
So here I am, Chicago native in the present tense
Going back to Eden like I'm Heaven sent
Going back to Eden like it's been a minute
And no one lacks a reason, that's just in decision
Speaking? Keep it down
The crew's been patient
Am I a new nuisance or a new sensation
Providing two cents to the take a penny, leave a penny trade
I'm going back to Eden, anyway, like

[Chorus]
Going back to Eden, Adam, Eve and I
Going back to Eden, pack your bags, we leave tonight
Going back, going back, going back to the Garden
Going back to where my heart is at
Back to where it started
Going back to Eden, Adam, Eve and I
Going back to Eden, pack your bags, we leave tonight
Going back, going back, going back to the Garden
Going back to where my heart is at
Back to where it started, going back
