Eva

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
