History Of Man

歌詞

Tale as old as honey A moment everybody knows Yeah, I'm sure there was heartbreak Inside the walls of Jericho I couldn't believe it How you could just stop wanting me You burnt down Easter Island As if it wasn't sacred, as if it wasn't sacred to me I've seen it in the poems and the sands I've pleaded with the powers and their plans I tried to rewrite it, but I can't It's the history, the history of man She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb She begs him, he says he doesn't understand She loves him more than anyone ever has In the history, the history of man It's the history of man You didn't even falter Didn't look back once, did you? So Samson blamed Delilah But given half the chance I I would've made him weaker too Sirens sounded, trumpets blaring You walked out, oh, without sweating I've seen it in the poems and the sands I've pleaded with the powers and their plans I tried to rewrite it, but I can't It's the history, the history of man She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb She begs him, he says he doesn't understand She loves him more than anyone ever has In the history, the history of man He stole her youth and promised heaven The men start wars yet Troy hates Helen Women's hearts are lethal weapons Did you hold mine and feel threatened? Hear my lyrics, taste my venom You are still my great obsession I've seen it in the poems and the sands I've pleaded with the powers and their plans I tried to rewrite it, but I can't It's the history, the history of man I stay up, you're sleeping like a lamb I beg you, and you don't understand I hold on, I try to hold your hand I save you a seat, and then you say you want to stand So you'll lose me, the best you'll ever have It's the history, the history of man
