Adam raised a cain lyrics

Artist  : Bruce springsteen 
Song : Adam raised a cain
 
In the summer that I was baptized my father held
me to his side
As they put me to the water he said how on that
day I cried
We were prisoners of love a love in chains
He was standin’ in the door I was standin’ in the
rain
With the same hot blood burning in our veins
Adam raised a cain

All of the old faces ask you why you’re back
They fit you with position and the keys to your
daddy’s cadillac
In the darkness of your room your mother calls
you by your true name
You remember the faces the places the names
You know it’s never over it’s relentless as the
rain
Adam raised a cain

In the Bible cain slew abel and east of eden he
was cast
You’re born into this life paying for the sins of
somebody else’s past
Daddy worked his whole life for nothing but the
pain
Now he walks these empty rooms looking for
something to blame
You inherit the sins you inherit the flames
Adam raised a cain

Lost but not forgotten from the dark heart of a
dream
Adam raised a cain
