Adam and Eve by Mabuse
This song is an interpretation of Adam and Eve’s story in the Bible’s Book of Genesis in which Eve is tempted by a snake to commit original sin (eating the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden.)
[Verse 1]
You snake, you crawled between my legs
Said, "Want it all? It's yours, you bet
I'll make you queen of everything
No need for God, no need for Him
Just take my hand, you be my bride
Just take that fruit, put it inside"
You snake, you dog, you fake, you liar
I've burnt my hands, I'm in the fire
[Interlude]
Oh
Oh
[Verse 2]
You salty dog, you filthy liar
My heart, it aches, I'm in the fire
You snake, I ate, I true believed
Put rotten fruit inside of me
Oh, Adam, please, you must believe
That snake put it in front of me
That snake put it in front of me
In front of me
Snake was written by PJ Harvey.
Snake was produced by Steve Albini.
