I see my forbidden fruit
I am Adam and the snake
seducing myself to eat the apple
hanging ripe to take
every day I see the tree
and the apple bears my name
if I were to take a little bit
I shouldn't be to blame

I shouldn't be to blame
for wanting what belongs to me
'cause ever since it grew
I knew this was meant to be

I can do so as I please
where's the owner of the tree
it's been so long I've lost the fear
of what he said to me
"keep you distance of my fruit
it will never lead to good"
but still I feel it calling out
I really think I should

'cause I deserve my share
I'll bet it's oh so sweet
I'll bring it to my lips
it's like when lovers meet

it's like when lovers meet
a fire that will always burn
so pluck it from the tree
and reach the point of no return
and so I finally take my bite

but the taste is anything but sweet
and it's filled with maggots to the core
now I've had it I'm ashamed to see
I don't want my apple anymore
guess it wasn't really meant to be
