Eden Is Burning Lyrics - Mellencamp John Cougar

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)
