[Verse 1]
It's not all been said, been said and done
I've never slept in Satan's bed
Although, I must admit, still visits my place
Uninvited, as you know he don't wait
Funny how he always seems to fit in
Funny how I always want to give in
Sundays, Fridays, Tuesdays, Thursdays the same
Sometimes this special guest he don't like to leave

[Chorus]
Already in love
Already in love
Already in love
Already

[Verse 2]
Who made, who made up, made up the myth
That we were born to be covered in bliss?
Who set the standard? Born to be rich
Such fine examples, skinny little bitch
Model, role model, roll some models in blood
Get some flesh to stick so they look like us
I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club
I'd stop and talk but I'm already in love

[Chorus]
Already in love
Already in love
Already in love
Already
(in love)

[Bridge]
Torture follows reward
Follows torture
Follows reward
Oh my butt

[Verse 3]
Never shook Satan's hand, look, see for yourself
You'd know it if I had that shit don't come off
I'll rise and fall, let me take credit for both
Jump off a cliff don't need your help so back off
I'll never suck Satan's dick
Again you'd see it, you know, right round the lips
I'll wait for an angel but I won't hold my breath
Imagine they're busy, think I'm doing okay

[Chorus]
Already in love
Already in love
Already in love
Already in love
Already in love
Already in love
Already in love

Founded in 1990 in Seattle, Pearl Jam is one of the most successful bands out of the grunge movement, if not of the whole alternative rock scene from the early 90s. The group started with Stone Gossard (guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass), veterans of the proto-grunge scene, recording a demo along with local guitarist Mike McCready. Once the tape passed along, it attracted a San Diego-based singer, Eddie Vedder. Along with drummer Dave Krusen, they signed with Epic Records and released Ten in 1991, which by the following year was becoming one of the most successful debut albums ever.

Growing uncomfortable with success, the following albums went for a more anguished and experimental sound, and the band’s notorious activism had its most prominent case once they boycotted Ticketmaster, accusing them of price-gouging fans. In the meantime, various drummers passed through the band, with percussion only settling once Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron joined them in the tour for 1998’s Yield.

With 10 studio albums and various live recordings (including “Official Bootlegs” of basically every concert the band performed since 2000), Pearl Jam has sold nearly 32 million records in the U.S. and an estimated 60 million worldwide.
