Story behind the song
It's basically the idea that a lot of things look better than what they really turn out to be.
Lyrics
Eden, who could've guessed your walls
Would run so long and reach so tall
Outside, things just ain't all that pretty
If regret will let me back
Let me tell you, I've got plenty
It seemed like a good idea at the time
Staring down the light, you want a bite of the lime
Struck dumb with the thought and my face flushing red
Here's what the hissing said
Wouldn't be nice to be just a little bit wiser
Lookin' up to God, oh, that won't satisfy
Your desire to see what its like so take a bite sir
Will there be grace to lend?
When the snake has shed its skin
Bite into...and it bites back
Ingesting sin leads to a heart attack
Grab onto gold and hold on by the tail
Leaves you an empty shell
Wouldn't be nice to be just a little bit wiser
Lookin' up to God, oh, that won't satisfy
Your desire to see what its like so take a bite sir
Will there be grace to lend?
When the snake has shed its skin
Cheaply earned when the rode is paved
Will cost you in the end when you hit the grave
Look around, you don't need a sign
Just turn from any road that looks serpentine
Its a straight line
I've been there and claim to be a little wiser
And say look to God, and that will satisfy
Your desire to see, and now I say good-night sir
And make room for grace to mend
When the snake has shed its skin.
Really enjoyed listening to your music!! As an "old rocker" myself, I loved it!!! blessings Von
