Blame it on the snake in Eden who brought out the weakness of Eve He'd blame the guy who created the apple and I don't know who to believe! I only know that the serpent lives on... and I don't get any younger.... and the fruit of temptation is hard to resist now you are the cause of the hunger... CHORUS: Am I making the same mistake again? Losing my soul for the sake of a song?... Out of control with the shakes again... Maybe I'm blind but I can't see where I went wrong.... I had forgotten how bad it felt to lie awake racked with desire. To feign indifference to photographs that set your mind on fire... God knows I should have learned enough not to let a man like you reach me. Assuming we learn from experience... is there anything new you can teach me? CHORUS: Am I making the same mistake again? Losing my soul for the sake of a song?... Out of control with the shakes again... Maybe I'm blind but I can't see where I went wrong.... If I could go back to the garden I would take that old snake by the tail. Curse him to Hell for the torment I'm in... least I'd try - but I'd probably fail! For there you would be in the back of my mind and I couldn't deny the sensation For the weakness of Eve is the weakness in me and I'd want you far more than salvation... CHORUS: I'd be making the same mistake again? Losing my soul for the sake of a song!... Out of control with the shakes again... Maybe I'm blind but I can't see where I went wrong.... |
