Lyrics
Adam pondered
Eve had wandered
After their favorite whims
An emerald garden
Just for grazing
A sapphire ocean to swim
Unaware of plans
From a host
Who invited them to the world of sin
Only an envious bully
Would bother to single out fools in the nude
But why would the devil be jealous of you?
Why would the devil be jealous of you?
Fractal trinkets
On snow white beaches
That had his interests piqued
Or Eve’s arched back
When Adam held her tightly
As they moved together in sync
Or was there not enough in the infinite heavens
For this spoiled, little prince to do?
Why would the devil be jealous of you?
Why would the devil be jealous of you?
Wisdom and power and unlimited youth
Manifestations of living haiku’s
Unimaginable inventions,
Humming in ten dimensions,
He even watched the universe coming into bloom
So why would the devil be jealous of you?
Why would the devil be jealous of you?
Was he hungry
for bone and muscle
As his father crafted their physique
Was he thirsty
For a chalice
Thick with pleasures to drink
