Genesis

8 ContributorsGenesis Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a day Jack and Jim didn't know me from Adam
And Eve wasn't some what's-her-name in my bed
It's like outta the dark I saw the neon a-flashin'
Heard the snake on my shoulder give me the go-ahead
So I had my first sip and I didn't stop there, oh, I swear

[Chorus]
From the time I wake up to the time I lay down
It's the Devil's playground everywhere that I look
Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost
Lot of lines that I crossed little more than I should

[Post-Chorus]
I'm losin' me to pretty eyes and the proof
He knew what I'd battle, he knew what would tempt me
He threw out the apple, said, "Let there be women and let there be whiskey"

[Verse 2]
Wish I could take all these troubles and put 'em back in the bottle
Wish I could take all them girls and not take 'em home
Swear it's all in the past until I do it tomorrow
When am I gonna learn, I guess I probably won't
I can't leave 'em alone

[Chorus]
From the time I wake up to the time I lay down
It's the Devil's playground everywhere that I look
Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost
Lot of lines that I crossed little more than I should

[Post-Chorus]
I'm losin' me to pretty eyes and the proof
He knew what I'd battle, he knew what would tempt me
He threw out the apple, said, "Let there be women and let there be whiskey"

[Bridge]
Yeah, I do good for a second than I can't help myself, mm
Makes it look like Heaven 'til I end up in Hell

[Chorus]
From the time I wake up to the time I lay down
It's the Devil's playground everywhere that I look
Swear it's there in my blood, I was born to be lost
Lot of lines that I crossed little more than I should

[Post-Chorus]
I'm losin' me to pretty eyes and the proof
He knew what I'd battle, he knew what would tempt me
He threw out the apple, said, "Let there be women and let there be whiskey"
