Genesis Six Blues

When men began to increase in number on the earth, / And women were with them and they were giving birth / To beautiful daughters. / And the sons of God who were standing near the edge, / Took notice and one of them said, / “Might be worth the fall to go lay down beside them.” // Oh cover your heads below. /Someone’s creeping through the kitchen door. / Someone’s creeping through the kitchen door. // Of course creation will never be the same, / corrupted natures, / Yeah the whole damn thing. / And children being born to beautiful daughters. / But these aren’t just the children of men. / They’re the sons of the sons of God and you know what that means…/ They’re responsible for many a myth and legend. // Yeah man will rattle in his grave, / a few years younger than he did before. / Ain’t no man gonna make it past six score. // It’s an old, old story. / And it’s just like old, old stories. / Yeah it’s an old, old story. / Floods and visitors from above kind of story. /Between the lines of words in stone / and pictures carved in ancient tombs, / Exists a truth now lost, still true. / Can you see it now? / How bout now? // And the world was a wicked place. / No sign of light or love on any face, save for Noah’s. / Noah was a righteous man. / And God’s heart was grieved. / From dark inclinations in every thought and deed, save for Noah’s. / Noah was a righteous man. // Hey Noah get yourself in the boat, / and you can take your family with you so make sure it floats. / You can take your family with you so make sure it floats.
