lyrics

She said I looked like Jesus but I sound like hell
As I undid the notches of her bible belt
It was forbidden fruit but I had to get a taste
Felt the wrath of god against my face
Her daddy told me, "Devil, better stay away!"
Put her halo on my shoulders and she knelt to pray
There's more heaven than hell when she chose to sin
She screamed out his name and Christ came again, yeah.

Oh lordy sakes, how did this begin?
Split her loaf in two, she's a fisher of men.
I'm the serpent in the bushes, that I must confess
Turned her water to wine and slipped off her dress
After Sunday school I met her in a room
Rolled away the stone from her empty tomb
Took the golden rule and taught a thing or two
Do unto me and I'll do unto you, yeah

Hey, Eve, come play with me.
Hey, hey, hey, Eve, set your body free.
Hey, hey, hey, Eve, come play with me.
Hey, hey, hey, Eve.
Hey, hey, hey.

Took off her cross, Uncrossed her legs
Went missionary at the foot of her bed
God fearing men have tried their best
But nothing hits the spot like godlessness
Now smite me down if I've done wrong
Two thousand years is too damn long
And until that time comes I'll be speaking in tongues
'Til her little angel body is nothing but numb, yeah.

Hey, Eve, come play with me.
Hey, hey, hey, Eve, set your body free.
Hey, hey, hey, Eve, come play with me.
Hey, hey, hey, Eve.
Hey, hey, hey, Eve.
