Music[00:00:19]
Moon shinning down through the palms[00:01:32]
Shadows moing on the sand[00:01:37]
Somebody shispering the Twenty-Third Tsalm[00:01:43]
Dusty rifle in his trembling hands[00:01:49]
Somebody tring just to stay alive[00:01:55]
He got promsises to keep[00:02:00]
Over the ocean in America[00:02:06]
Far away and fast asleep[00:02:13]
Silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky[00:02:18]
Cold silver satellites,ghostly caravans passing by[00:02:29]
Galaxies unfolding;new worlds being born[00:02:41]
Pilgrims and prodigals creeping towrd the dawn[00:02:47]
But it's a long road out of Eden[00:03:01]
Music blasting from an SUV[00:03:12]
On a bright and sunny day[00:03:18]
Rolling down the interstate[00:03:23]
In the good ol'USA[00:03:29]
Having lunch at the petroleum club[00:03:34]
Smokin' fine cigars and swappin' lies[00:03:40]
"Gimme 'nother slice o'that barbecued brisket!"[00:03:45]
"Gimme 'nothing piece o' that pecan pie!"[00:03:51]
Freeways flickering,cell phones chiming a tune[00:03:57]
We're riding to Utopia;road map says we'll be arriving soon[00:04:08]
Captains of the old order clinging to the reins[00:04:20]
Assuring us these aches inside are only crowing pains[00:04:26]
But it's a long road out of Eden[00:04:32]
Back home I was so certain[00:05:01]
The path was very clear[00:05:04]
But now I have to wander:What are we doing here?[00:05:07]
I'm not counting on tomorrow[00:05:12]
And I can't tell wrong from right[00:05:15]
But I'd give anthing to be there in your arms tonight[00:05:18]
Weaving down the American highway[00:07:04]
Through the litter and the wrechage and the cultural junk[00:07:10]
Bloated with entitlement;loaded on propaganda[00:07:15]
And now we're driving dazed and drunk[00:07:22]
Been down the road to Damascus,the road to Mandalay[00:07:26]
Met the ghost of Caesar on the Appian Way[00:07:33]
He said,"It's hard to stop this bingeing,once you get a taste."[00:07:38]
"But the road to empire is a bloody,stupid waste."[00:07:45]
Behold the bitten apple-the power of the tools[00:07:51]
But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools[00:07:56]
And it's a long road out of Eden[00:08:02]
