[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
I felt a stutter and a waiver, cutting like a razor
Like fire through the snow, then straight down to the bone
She creeps up like a spider, and wants you deep inside her
She turns you into stone, a twisted little show

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
That's how it was to all begin, 'cause good girls who like to sin
Way back at the starting line where Eve was on Adam's mind
And he was the first to go in search of the great unknown
And falling yet again, 'cause good girls, they like to sin

[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
You are a hero and survivor, your eyes are getting tired
There's claw marks on your spine, it happens all the time
The silent evil daughters, like sirens on the water
You've been the perfect crime, it happens all the time

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
That's how it was to all begin, 'cause good girls who like to sin
Way back at the starting line where Eve was on Adam's mind
And he was the first to go in search of the great unknown
And falling yet again, 'cause good girls, they like to sin

[Bridge: Tom DeLonge]
Good girls, they like to sin
Falling yet again
Good girls, they like to sin
Good girls, they like to sin

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
That's how it was to all begin, 'cause good girls who like to sin
Way back at the starting line where Eve was on Adam's mind
And he was the first to go in search of the great unknown
And falling yet again, 'cause good girls, they like to sin

[Instrumental Outro]

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
