Lyrics

Fryin Pan

every day keeps on getting a little harder
we keep on climbin into the sky
on the wings of
the eagle.
Job had a job
he didn't like it so he
wailed
he keep on climbin
higher and higher
on Jacob's ladder.

Adam met Eve under that tree in
the garden
there wasn't a sound
as the fruitful came
down to the water-
And the water came down
and covered the ground
up to the mountain
so they built a boat and
hope made it float....
from the fryin pan to the fire

How long oh Lord,
how long does it take-seems like we been waiting so long
how long oh Lord, how long does it take
please don't let do no more wrong.

The city reborn, the mountains are torn down to the sea
the paths that they made, the games that they played can be seen
and who's gonna win and get past the sin of all this killin?
One was a man and one couldn't stand all the others
From the fryin pan to the fire
HOw long?
