Violent Femmes – Adam Was A Man 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
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]

Almost like you or me
He said to do what we're no supposed to
And he lies so reasonably
[Chorus 3]

[Verse 4]

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
