Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Honey sweet apples, they're rottin' away
Millions of people never start in the race
There's stuff on our plates that has not been alive
Someone pays full price for my cheap flight life
[Verse 2]
Sunshine
We all see the same sky
[Verse 3]
I am a man filled with longin' desire
The gifts of creation are ready for hire
A look and a label is all I require
Enough's not enough, I never ask why
[Verse 4]
Sunshine
We all see the same sky
Lookin', learnin'
Asking the same why?
[Verse 5]
Honey sweet apples, they're rottin' away
Millions of people never start in the race
There's stuff on our plates that has not been alive
Someone else pays the real price of my cheap flight life
[Verse 6]
Wheel of fortune spins
But the wheels on fire come crashin' on you
Honey sweet apples, they're rottin' away
[Verse 7]
Sunshine
We all see the same sky
Lookin', learnin'
Asking the same why?
[Verse 8]
Sunshine
We all see the same sky
