Babyshambles East Of Eden Lyrics

East Of Eden Lyrics



I've been wandering East of Eden

Been lost, cold, lonesome as a sparrow in the rain

I found myself tumbling to a sinking feeling

When someone said I done gone wrong

Couldn't feel no shame

I'll be leaving town on the very next train

You can wait for me little girl

But I won't be coming this way again

And it ain't nobody's business if I do



There's a slow train rumbling east of a place called Eden

Ah, the wind blowing in proud as the trees upon the plain

And a stranger's voice talked to me of liberty and freedom

Yeah, it seems like he done gone wrong again

And he wears the hat like shame



Well he tasted the fruit of another

And when his Margie, when she discovered

Said she's gonna love him ten times more

Ain't nobody's business if she do



He said "some men born rich, some men born poor

But they're rich in other ways"

Into my heart his wisdom poured



It's no good crumblin, I'm making tracks to live

When I laid my love down in the light

You should've seen all the things my shadow did



The filth and the fury, the fear and the pain

It's all disappearing now

Faster than the smoke from this old train

And it ain't nobody's business if it do
