Did you ever feel that just by jumping on a plane All your cares would drop away and you'd be born again
Returning to a nature child happy wild and free But forgetfulness is a river and you know where the river leads
Holidays in Eden Life before the fall See no, hear no, speak no evil Feel no guilt, feel no guilt at all
Naked through the jungle, mud between your toes Following the river, where the river flows
The creatures of the forest bid you "Welcome to the dark" Nothing here can hurt you, darkness has no heart
Holidays in Eden Paradise regained See no, hear no, speak no evil Throw your past away
You wake up one morning, wondering who you are There's a map of new country up on the wall All your new lovers merge into one You've done everything under the sun There's a date on the air ticket And the money's gone
Back in your own country Nothing seems the same No one comes around at night Or uses your new name
Hearing silent whispers Old friends are acting strange No one wants to know you now People say you've changed
Holidays in Eden Life before the fall See no, hear no, speak no evil Feel no guilt at all
Holidays in Eden Paradise and light Heaven loses you to this world Leaves you alone Kiss your home goodbye
