Timbuk3 - Eden Alley lyrics

We were raised in Eden Alley Where the music plays all night long And 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 and sweet salvation Hovers like a blanket on the night so cold We were raised in Eden Alley Where the music plays all night long And children make love in the shadows While the elders pray for kingdom come Oh the light that flickers like a buzzing halo 'Round the head of a serpent, that's just a neon sign And the Salvation Army is the life of the party As they bob for apples in a tub of wine We were raised in Eden Alley Where the music plays all night long And children make love in the shadows While the elders pray for kingdom come
