Naptime Nate - Adeline lyrics

rate me

I was young and so naive

convinced that I knew everything,

at least I thought I knew my wrongs from rights,

but I've never known temptation so angelic and divine

as that lady of the night, Adeline

My mother and the Bible say

obeying God is the only way

to save your soul from that burning lake of fire,

yet I get no satisfaction from kneeling at a shrine

except that temple made of flesh, Adeline

Adeline, Adeline, I swear some day I'll make you mine

I didn't know the good lord made em look so fine

While you walk these dirty streets alone

I'll work my fingers to the bone

just to pay you for your time, Adeline

I don't know if it was what she did

or the fact that I was just a kid

but I swear I came so hard I nearly cried

and all the scars a man should have

her fingers carved into my back

sending shivers down my spine

Oh what style, oh what grace

what wonders lie beneath that lace

sweeter than the sacramental wine

No, I never will forget her taste

like sucking on a wild grape

still clinging to the vine, Adeline

Adeline, Adeline,

I didn't know the good lord made em look so fine

While you walk these dirty streets alone

I'll work my fingers to the bone

Just to pay you for your time, Adeline

Father please forgive me though I know just what I do

if I must choose then it's you I will deny,

if the devil wears such a pretty face

I would freely fall from grace

to lay there intertwined with Adeline

Adeline, Adeline

I didn't know the good lord made em look so fine

While you walk these dirty streets alone

I'll work my fingers to the bone

Just to pay you for your time...

My Adeline
