Eva

Dan Bern

The sermon at the church on Hollywood Boulevard

Is on Adam and the Fall of Man

Now I know exactly what they mean

I feel a lot like Adam myself these days

Fallen to the ground in a '68 Ford

Fallen from grace in the eyes of the Lord

Now I think if I had to live outside the garden of paradise

It might as well be spent looking in your eyes

The lies might as well be your lies

The thighs might as well be your thighs

It might as well be with Eva

It might as well be with you



I wander the streets

And I wonder if there's something I should do

To prepare for the life to come

Maybe I should fall to my knees and try to repent

For the gifts that came and went

I'm fallen to the ground in a devil disguise

Fallen from grace in the angel's eyes

Now I think if I had to live as one of god's fallen ones

It might as well be spent lying in the sun

With your lips telling me I'm the one

Your fingers shooting me like a gun

It might as well be with Eva

It might as well be with



Eva's such a lucky girl

She don't have a care in the world

She sets fire to the foot of her bed

Leaves the righteous shaking their head



I won't be attending the sermon at the church this Sunday On Adam and the Fall of Man

I think I could deliver that message

As good as any preacher in Hollywood

I'm fallen to the ground in a fiery hole

Fallen with the rest of my immortal soul

Now I think if I gotta spend eternity outside Eden's gate

It might as well be worth the wait

So if you're the one buttering the bread on my plate

Then to hell and back on roller skates

It might as well be with Eva
