Tale as old as honey

A moment everybody knows

Yeah, I′m sure there was heartbreakInside 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, in 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 (yep)

You didn't even falter

Didn′t look back once, did you?

So Samson blamed Delilah, but given half the chance I

I would have made him weaker too

Siren 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 (history)

The history of man

He stole our 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, in the sands

I've pleaded, with the powers and their plans

I tried to rewrite it but I can′t

It's the history (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
