Songtexte Adam Raised a Cain - Bruce Springsteen

In the summer that I was baptized

My father held me to his side

As they put me into 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 mamma, Cain slew Abel

And East of Eden mamma, he was cast

You're born into this life paying

For the sins of somebody else's past

Well, 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
