Eden Alley - Timbuk 3

Eden Alley

Eden Alley

Chorus:

We were raised in Eden Alley

Where the music plays all night long

& children make love in the shadows

While the elders pray for kingdom come

And the whiskey bottles, they shine like diamonds

Every little swallow goes down like gold

And the smell of garbage & sweet salvation

Hovers like a blanket on the night so cold

Chorus

Oh the light that flickers like a buzzing halo

Round the head of a serpent -- that’s just a neon sign

& the Salvation Army is the life of the party

As they bob for apples in a tub of wine

Chorus
