Long Road Out Of Eden Lyrics - Long Road Out Of Eden - The Eagles

Moon shining down through the palms 

Shadows moving on the sand 

Somebody whispering the 23rd Psalm 

Dusty rifle in his trembling hands 

Somebody trying just to stay alive 

He got promises to keep 

Over the ocean in America 

Far away, the master sleeps 

Silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky 

Gold, silver satellites, ghostly caravans passing by 

Galaxies unfolding and new worlds being born 

Pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn 

And it's a long road out of Eden

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Music blasting from an SUV 

On a bright and sunny day 

Rolling down the interstate 

In the good old USA 

Having lunch at the petroleum club 

Smoking fine cigars and swapping lies 

They say, "Give me 'nother slice of that barbecued brisket 

Give me 'nother piece of that pecan pie" 

Freeways flickering; cell phones chiming a tune 

We're riding to Utopia; road map says we'll be arriving soon 

Captains of the old order clinging to the reins 

Assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains 

But it's a long road out of Eden 

Back home, I was so certain; the path was very clear 

But now I have to wonder - what are we doing here? 

And I'm not counting on tomorrow and I can't tell wrong from right 

But I'd give anything to be there in your arms tonight 

Weaving down the American highway 

Through the litter and the wreckage, and the cultural junk 

Bloated with entitlement, bloated on propaganda 

Now we're driving dazed and drunk 

Went down the road to Damascus, the road to Mandalay 

Met the ghost of Caesar on the Appian Way 

He said, "It's hard to stop this binging once you get a taste 

But the road to empire is a bloody, stupid waste" 

Behold the bitten apple, the power of the tools 

But all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools 

And it's a long road out of Eden
