Start your life, open up your eyes
And receive the lights of 1985
Son of mine, I built you on a love
I'm a Frankenstein, say it's alive
Come tonight, we can live by the code that I write
CHORUS
I don't want a Garden of Eden
I just want to bring you to life
If you got a light inside then open your eyes
Start to rise, we live alone
And I spend the days carving out of stone
All the love that I see I believe you should own
CHORUS
I built a Garden of Eden
Now give me something back for my time
If you got a light inside then give us a try
Open your eyes
Sunrise over and over, the mourning has only begun
Go love, this is the end of our everything under the sun
I rise, out of the garden and into the art of the sky
See love, this is the turning, an effigy burning on high
CHORUS
I built a Garden of Eden
Now give me something back for my time
If you got a light inside then open your eyes
And receive the lights of 1985
Son of mine, I built you on a love
I'm a Frankenstein, say it's alive
Come tonight, we can live by the code that I write
CHORUS
I don't want a Garden of Eden
I just want to bring you to life
If you got a light inside then open your eyes
Start to rise, we live alone
And I spend the days carving out of stone
All the love that I see I believe you should own
CHORUS
I built a Garden of Eden
Now give me something back for my time
If you got a light inside then give us a try
Open your eyes
Sunrise over and over, the mourning has only begun
Go love, this is the end of our everything under the sun
I rise, out of the garden and into the art of the sky
See love, this is the turning, an effigy burning on high
CHORUS
I built a Garden of Eden
Now give me something back for my time
If you got a light inside then open your eyes
