lyrics

Eden
It was a small town Eden, not much there for a girl to do
She had to be somebody, bit an apple her wish came true
To get to be somebody, there was nothing she wouldn’t try
With such a deep based hunger, her downfall was based on a lie.

She laughed a little too loud and strutted way too proud
Her need for power made her reach and caused her reputation breach
Claimed innocence on everything, does this have a familiar ring?

There was a girl from Teaneck had the spotlight within her view
Just had to be a big star, so she walked it all over you
You helped her be somebody, a friend in need is a friend indeed
Want something like in kind, it was viewed as a kind of crime.

At some point the ladder rungs fail, a reputation starts to pale
She must be left with precious few, who don’t know what was true
You see it all go in reverse, it becomes like a kind of curse.

Best live the life you choose, your soul is yours to loose
Forgive that original sin cause that Eden they just needed to win
For some it’s the price to pay, not for me, never been my way.
Never been my way, never been never been my way….
