ADAM of EVE
Am Em Dm (E7) F C G
I came here to set the record straight
But my fear has reduced me to this whisper
I fear my story might disappear
As my past gets passed down
And rewritten all around
We Men have owned this story
Since we men invented man
Since we have been bending minds
Since all written history began
And while in my moment of weakest thought
I caught her with her back turned, while she was busy
Taking care of me, and everything
I’ve ever known or ever heard or ever seen
The story about my rib was quite a fib
As the truth is, she preceded me
First thing I remember was
I woke up bawling and there she was
First it was she, then it was me
And while in my moment of weakest thought
I Caught her with back turned
While she was busy
And in my deepest green of envy for her
And all her strength and her beauty
I wrote the blurb
That blurred all history (x2)
Then, I told my story to the stars
I told my story to the sun
But when I told my story to the serpent
This is when it caught on and on and on and on (x2)
She was everything I needed her to be
Everything I needed her to be (x2)

The rocket’s red glare
Is bound to singe your hair
Leave you lookin’ bald
I’m one who knows this all too well
Oh well, my youthful looks
Have gone to Hell
I once had a haram
I’d screw ‘em then I’d scare em
Scare them all away
As I over sang my song
of freedom and liberty
All goddamn day
Soar, soar away with me
Just one more time, make believe you’re mine
These empty nest blues stink of unpaid dues
I’m a lazy man I’ll admit
But I’ll eat any rat who’s willing to repeat
What I just lost out of my beak
I speak the truth, but only to myself
I had a chance to rule
To be a symbol of strength
But I screwed it all away
Then just flew back here to stay
Soar, soar away with me
Just one more time, make believe you’re mine
So, this bird has landed
My wing’s done been expanded
Extended and stretched
Soaring a bit closer to death
And day by day I live my life the same old way
Some say that’s okay
But some of them have passed away
And this opinion
Seems to be on its way
Out
Soar, soar away with me
Just one more time, make believe you’re mine
