Eden Is Burning

John Mellencamp


Diane and Jack went to the movies 
They went to see Richard Pryor 
Screamin' on his knees for his lover 
How could have I been wrong about you? 
How could I have been so wrong about you? 

Eden is burning 
I can see it from my window 
Better take it to the water 
Eden is burning 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Eden is burning 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Thinking of Havana 
Eating cream and bananas 
You and me in the sunshine 
How could have I been wrong about you? 
How could I have been so wrong about you? 

Eden is burning 
I can see it from my window 
Better take it to the water 
Eden is burning 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Eden is burning 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

How could have I been wrong about you? 
How could I have been so wrong about you? 
With love on our side 
With love on our side 

Here's the masquerade of our living 
Well, I hope it makes you feel better 
It's for our own protection 
I thought we were forever, me and you 
But nothin's forever, I guess it's true 

Eden is burning 
I can see it from my window 
Better take it to the water 
Eden is burning 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 
Eden is burning 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

(Repeat chorus)
