"LOSING PARADISE"
Lyrics by Peter Merz and Mark E. Ellis
Music by Peter Merz
It didn't take much
To push us in the wrong direction
No, no, all it took
Was a little tickling of the ear
By a talking snake
And BAM! WHAM! We lost our connection
Playing Martha Stewart
With some fig leaves and a needle and thread
CHORUS
Losing Paradise
Has us sweating where we stand
Losing Paradise
We could not play God's hand
We stand naked in our sin
Clothed with our disgrace
We have shamed ourselves
Losing Paradise
We played hide and seek
When we heard His holy footsteps
We tried to outrun God
But forgot to cover our footprints
Then stuttering with guilt
KAPOW! BAM! We tried to be cunning
Pointing fruit-stained fingers
Prehistoric tattletales
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
We threw away what love could really be
And in that moment, what we saw
Was cherubim with eviction papers
Forced to turn our backs on our native land
Now we're banished from the Garden of Eden
Our garden paradise where life was smooth and cool
Now our children and our children's children
All have to pay because we played God for a fool
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
Next time we find a garden getaway (Losing paradise)
Let's keep it clear of snakes (Losing paradise)
Let's avoid like the bubonic plague (Losing paradise)
Any more talking snakes (Losing, losing, paradise)
