Dan Bern Eva Lyrics

Eva Lyrics

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 god 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
