"sundown in paradise"

It's almost the hour 
where everything's changed
the sky's turning rose and gold, 
and strange 
Get lost in this beautiful eve, 
wouldn't you? 
Sometimes it could seem 
like we're missing this view. 
Well here we are as usual, 
wearing no clothes 
I feel like these occasions
should be special, you know?

Well, I've got an apple 
and I know a snake 
it's perfectly innocent, 
okay? 
And I'm always naked 
and you never notice 
Open your eyes, take a bite 
let's play 
Take a bite 
Take a bite 
Take a bite 
Open your eyes, take a bite 
Take a bite
Take a bite
It's sundown in paradise

Lord knows it's paradise 
always here with you, 
and nothing good could come 
of improving this view 

But certain of the details 
have shrunk from neglect
Let's make a bigger picture 
of ourselves, what the heck 

'Cause I've got an apple 
and I know a snake 
it's perfectly innocent, 
okay? 
And I'm always naked 
and you never notice 
Open your eyes, take a bite 
let's play 
Take a bite 
Take a bite 
Take a bite 
Open your eyes, take a bite 
Take a bite
Take a bite
Sundown in paradise

The fruit of the knowledge 
of the tree's going down 
So sweet and unsettling, 
tongues and stomachs frown 
It doesn't seem we've managed 
to metabolize this 
For once it's clear forever
that innocence was bliss  

At least it's clear forever
I could never wrong you 
And yet, it feels so naughty 
We can tell ourselves, too 

And I've got an apple 
and we know a snake 
it's very far from innocent, 
okay? 
And I'm always naked 
and you're struck with wonder 
open your eyes, take a bite 
let's pray
