Tree Of Knowledge Lyrics - Pursuit Of Happiness

He takes a bite of the apple 

And a vision appears 

He follows the light until the image is clear 

He sees her porcelain beauty 

Against another man's skin 

He hears her moaning 

A way she hadn't for him 

With grotesque fascination 

He watches until they fall still 

He burns with the knowledge of good and evil 

(Chorus) 

He feels like he's falling, falling 

Out of grace and into knowledge 

He watches with dry eyes 

Eyes that have changed 

One final memory of the vision remains 

Her playful body enjoying the sweet taste of sin 

The dance of love that's now foreign to him 

Day turns to night and night turns to day 

He puts the illusions of his childhood away 

With the new understanding he builds a world of his own 

Outside the garden he finds the will to go on
