Forbidden Fruit

High and lonesome out on Times Square
Haven’t got a dime, ain’t got a prayer
Deliver us, Lord, from this golden calf People only want what they cannot have Forbidden fruit
That’s the fruit that you’d better not taste
Forbidden fruit
You’ve got one life that you’d better not waste
How can I walk with this ball and chain? How did I land in this hurricane? Or is this part of man’s evolution to be torn between truth and illusion? Forbidden fruit
That’s the route that you’d better not take
Forbidden fruit
Just watch out for the sign of the snake
Little brother got caught in the web he ran off and joined the living dead Been through the mill, seen the cross on the hill he sold his soul just for a thrill Forbidden fruit
In hot pursuit out on a limb
Forbidden fruit
Your whole world is closing in
You got the picture but missed the drift about me workin’ the graveyard shift I never went in for no burglary but there’s a stranger inside of me Forbidden fruit
Don’t you shoot the whole works away
Forbidden fruit

It’s too high of a price to pay
How can you hear with a bad connection? You can’t see when there’s no reception Keep your distance, don’t fool with taboo cause it’ll overtake and undertake you Forbidden fruit
That’s the fruit that you’d better not taste
Forbidden fruit
You’ve got one life that you’d better not waste
