Long Road Out Of Eden - Eagles

[10:17.0]Moon shining down through the palms
[10:17.0]　　shadows moving on the sand
[10:17.0]　　somebody whispering the twenty-third psalm
[10:17.0]　　dusty rifle in his trembling hands
[10:17.0]　　somebody trying just to stay alive
[10:17.0]　　he got promises to keep
[10:17.0]　　over the ocean in america
[10:17.0]　　far away and fast asleep
[10:17.0]　　silent stars blinking in the blackness of an endless sky
[10:17.0]　　cold silver satellites ghostly caravans passing by
[10:17.0]　　galaxies unfolding new worlds being born
[10:17.0]　　pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn
[10:17.0]　　but it's a long road out of eden
[10:17.0]　　music blasting from an suv
[10:17.0]　　on a bright and sunny day
[10:17.0]　　rolling down the interstate
[10:17.0]　　in the good ol' usa
[10:17.0]　　having lunch at the petroleum club
[10:17.0]　　smokin' fine cigars and swappin' lives
[10:17.0]　　he said: "gimme 'nother slice o' that barbecued brisket "
[10:17.0]　　gimme other piece o' that pecan pie "
[10:17.0]　　freeways flickering cell phones chiming a tune
[10:17.0]　　we're riding to utopia road map says we'll be arriving soon
[10:17.0]　　captains of the old order clinging to the reins
[10:17.0]　　assuring us these aches inside are only growing pains
[10:17.0]　　but it's a long road out of eden
[10:17.0]　　back home i was so certain
[10:17.0]　　the path was very clear
[10:17.0]　　but now i have to wonder that are we doing here
[10:17.0]　　I'm not counting on tomorrow
[10:17.0]　　and i can't tell wrong from right
[10:17.0]　　but i'd give anything to be there in your arms tonight
[10:17.0]　　weaving down the american highway
[10:17.0]　　through the litter and the wreckage and the cultural junk
[10:17.0]　　bloated with entitlement loaded on propaganda
[10:17.0]　　and now we're driving dazed and drunk
[10:17.0]　　been down the road to damascus
[10:17.0]　　the road to mandalay
[10:17.0]　　met the ghost of caesar on the appian way
[10:17.0]　　he said "it's hard to stop this bingeing once you get a taste "
[10:17.0]　　"but the road to empire is a bloody stupid waste "
[10:17.0]　　behold the bitten apple - the power of the tools
[10:17.0]　　but all the knowledge in the world is of no use to fools
[10:17.0]　　and it's a long road out of eden
