[Verse 1: Eric Bloom]
Feeling easy on the outside
But not so funny on the inside
Feel the sound, pray for rain
'Cause this is the night we ride
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
This ain't the Garden of Eden
There ain't no angels above
And things ain't what they used to be
And this ain't the Summer of Love

And this ain't, this ain't, this ain't, this ain't
This ain't the Garden of Eden
There ain't no angels above
And things ain't what they're supposed to be
And this ain't the Summer, this ain't the Summer
This ain't, this ain't, this ain't the Summer of Love
