you seem to know your way around here
a wake of devils paved our way
i've spent time in your garden
my way i could not find

i sought entrance just to join with you
a convocation, but i can't stay
i want out of this garden
i ain't wastin' no more time

-

ooo adam and i
we walked together
without knowing why
we walked
[so] --- don't tempt me ---
[no] --- don't tempt me ---
into your garden

-

you had beckoned and so i followed you
into a forest to a darkened clos
and there was a stranger
with an apple in his hand

i deemed pernicious this malignant man
he spoke of seraphim as both 'friend' and 'foe'
but he made us wide-eyed and fruit-full
yet laughed when we were banned

-

ooo adam and i
we walked together
without knowing why
we walked
[so] --- don't tempt me ---
[no] --- don't tempt me ---
into your garden

-

... into your garden ...
