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 got one life that you better not waste

How can I walk with this ball and chain?

How can 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 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

Got 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 got one life that you'd better not waste
