History Of Man

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, didnt 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 wanna stand So you’ll lose me, the best you’ll ever have It’s the history, the history of man
