Lyrics:

(Interesting Intro with Bob getting deep in the blues)

Tie the trunk with a piece of string 
Make sure, did we forget anything? 
Turn the lights out 
And close the door 
Tell the mailman 
We don't live here no more 

They said it was paradise 
And that we'd live here forever 
And they stabbed us in the back 
With a poison dagger 

Stood by the river 
And watched us drown 
Smiled, then they waved                 ??? is this right, if it is, that's stone-cold! ???
While we went down 

But once was will never happen 
Again 

Now we travel out of Eden 

(Little Break)


I know you would stand up 
For what is right 
And I know you would you stand up 
Against what's wrong 

Our neighbors were blind 

But we had each other 
And we became strong 

They said it was paradise 
And that we'd live here forever 
Then they stabbed us in the back 
With a poison dagger 

Wrongly accused 
Rightly upset 
When our friends turned their backs 
We knew we'd never, never forget 

What once was will never happen 
No, no, again 
Now we travel out of Eden 

(Guitar solo)

Put your suitcase down 
Lay on the bed                 *** that's awfully direct! ***
I'll open up the window 
Clear skies ahead 

We can sit on the beach 
Or swim in the ocean 

We survived on a life of devotion 

They said it was paradise 
And that we'd live here forever 
Then they stabbed us in the back 
With a poison dagger 

Tried and convicted 
Without hearing our side 
Now everyone's sorry 
But there'll be no next time 

What once was will never happen again 
Now we travel out of Eden 
Now we travel out of Eden 
Now we travel out of Eden 

(time for a humming break at various pitches!)

Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm

(Guitar solos mixed in with humming)

(Ends with some nice clapping, well-deserved I might add!)
