Eden Is Burning — 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)
