| He made the man from clay — Gave him the perfect way
|
| For him to live in Eden all his days
|
| He gave the breath of life — And made the man a wife
|
| So he could take the loneliness away
|
| He gave authority over everything
|
| To the man and the one He called Eve
|
| They promised to obey everything he would say
|
| And they were promisd an eternity
|
| From somewhre in the grass he came
|
| To take their innocence away
|
| Something’s goin on down in Evie’s Little Garden
|
| Somebody said they saw a snake
|
| Hells' breaking loose down in Evie’s Little Garden
|
| And there’s gonna be some hell to pay —
|
| There ain’t no garden anymore — There ain’t no garden any more
|
| She saw him forge a grin — and thought she’d made a friend
|
| As they conversed about the tree of life
|
| He seemed so polite and made her take a bite
|
| And Adam blamed it all upon the wife
|
| He cursed the woman with birth and said, «You'll work the earth
|
| In the end, you’re both gonna die…»
|
| The man was so ashamed cause now he shared the blame
|
| And he’d regret it for the rest of his life
|
| Somewhere the serpent held his grin
|
| He’d introduced the world to sin
|
| Something’s goin on down in Evie’s Little Garden
|
| Somebody said they saw a snake
|
| Hell’s breaking loose down in Evie’s Little Garden
|
| And there’s gonna be some hell to pay —
|
| There ain’t no garden anymore — There ain’t no garden any more |
