And I lie behind you
And I cradle you in the palm of me
In the garden, snake was a charmin'
Now, lead us not into temptation
If I had you here I'd clip your wings
Eve says, let's give it a try
Accept it, don't let it turn the screw
Snap you up and leave you sprawlin' on my pin
Now this applies equally to you and I
And I pat your hair down
But no matter how hard I try
But this plan of mine is oh, so very lame
You came, I think but I never really know
And can't you see the grass is greener where it rains?
You left, I died, I went and you cried
When in the garden, snake is charmin'
I've served my time, I've watched you climb
The wrong incline but what do I know
I think will we sink or swim?
Accept it and let it scream back at you
Like can't you see the grass is greener where it rains?
You left, I died, I went and you cried
Eve is the apple of my eye, Eve is the apple
Eve said, let's give it a try
Eve is the apple of my eye
The only thing we share is the same sky
The wrong incline but what do I know
I've served my time, I've watched you climb
You came, I think but I never really know
These empty metaphors, they're all in vain
