In the Garden of Eden

Don’t think I’m such an evil snake, I just want you all to have fun,

I don’t see how something beautiful and sweet could be so wrong.

Take a little bite of the fruit, go on.

Don’t blindly let God rob you of all the fruit you farm,

I’m sure one little bit of it won’t do you any harm.

Take a little bite of the fruit, go on.

When this fruit gives you wisdom, you’ll know right from wrong,

God’s just madly jealous, he wants no competition.

Take a little bite of the fruit, go on.

Now you could take a tiny bit, so very, very small,

Chew it up and spit it out, you don’t have to eat it all.

Take a little bite of the fruit, go on.

But now you’ve got it in your mouth, you really have to chew,

Spitting it back out again is really hard to do.

Take a few more bites of the fruit, go on.

Now, Eve, don’t be greedy, it isn’t all for you,

Go and call your husband so that he can have some too.

Give him a few bites of the fruit, go on.

Now it’s not just the sweet taste, you’re getting wisdom too,

Cover up your nakedness, it’s what you need to do.

Make some clothes with the leaves, if you can, go on.

Well, we’ve all had a great dessert, I think I’d better slide,

Oh, here comes the Lord Our God, I think we’d better hide.

Hide behind a hedge if you can, go on.

The Lord Our God has found us, and I think I’m being cursed,

He’s scared you’ll eat the fruit of life, and that would be much worse.

Run away from him, cause this can’t go on.

The tree of life’s surrounded by those flaming cherubim,

Now there’s no way that you could live forever in your sin.

Sow some little seeds, cause the garden’s gone.

I’m sorry about the garden, we’ve all had a bad day.

God found us behind the hedge, and I didn’t get my way.

Find a little cave, if you can, go on.
