I found a little plot of land
in the garden of Eden
it was dirt and dirt is all the same
I tilled it with my two hands
and I called it my very own
(, , )
There was no one to dispute my claim.
Well, you'd be shocked at the state of things
The whole place had just cleared right out
It was hot in hell, so I lay me by a spring
(, , )
For a spell as naked as a trout
, , (, , )
The wandering eye that I have caught
Is as hot as a wandering sun
But I will want for nothing more, in the garden
Start again
(, , )
In my heart and into every heart but one
Meet me in the garden of Eden,
Bring a friend, we are going to have ourselves a time
We have are going to have a garden party,
(, , )
It's on me, no sir-e, it's my dime
We broke our hearts in the war between
St. George and the dragon
But both in equal parts are welcome to come along
(, , )
I'm inviting everyone
, , (, , )
Farewell, to loves that i have known
Even muddiest waters run
Tell me what is meant by sin, or none, in a garden,
(, , )
Seceded from the Union in the year of '81?
The unending amends you made
Are enough for one life, be done
I believe in innocence, little darling, start again
(, , )
I believe in everyone
I believe, regardless, I believe in everyone.
