i got an able body
able to fall, able to break
and i can walk a mile
down this road but
i start shaking
the weather just came in, it said
a hard rain's gonna fall
well i have seen a storm or two
yeah they come when i call

my woman's got a body, too
better than mine, though full of pain
but she seems to be a bit more able than me
able to bear, abel to cain
and it's hard to explain how the jealousy
of one can take away the other
it used to be just us, you see
now i've got to tell mother
how two plus two makes only three

so i used my own two feet
to flee this godforsaken garden
i had only the choice to leave
for there will be
no royal pardon
i have seen a thousand serpents since
each of them like you, or me
but didn't you hear about that apple?
it never falls far
from the tree
