Standing in the eden garden
Lying in the shade
Sidewinder in the dirt
Grass cutting king of spades
Sidewinder
Adam was combing hair
Eden was bearing fruit
(chorus):
Passion was in pain
Now the politics beware
Pandora's open box
Lock lay broken on the stairs
Eyes are open
Mouths are choking
The glass is broken bare
She said to me
Eyes that glow are yellow gold
Don't cross that sidewinder in the road
Smoke in the flower pots
Evening comes and leaves a blot
Lying to the leaving love
Planted from the jah above
Sidewinder
Took a bite, bit her lip
Water running on the trip
(chorus)
Joker's wild, eve is heavy
Adam got his lid flipped
Naked bones bright and white
Fruit was juicy, tree was stripped
Sidewinder
Fig leaf and fidgety
Better days on adam's eve
