Eden Is Burning

Written by: John Mellencamp
 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)
