Forbidden Fruit — текст песни (Steve Poltz)

She hopped in my car faster than bar time

"honey, would you like a date," she said

It wasnt even an original line

And my pants they tightened

And my face grew taut

And in my mind my mother said, "youd better not"

Then again she always told me

That I wouldnt like the taste of beer

Hmm-mmm

And she slid real close to me

She said I need not fear

I looked like I was caught in headlights

With the eyes of a lonely deer



Forbidden fruit

Ill scale your thorny vine

To reach the top

Ill scrape and twist my spine

Forbidden fruit

Man, what a joyous meal

It tastes so sweet

Ill even eat the peel

If they told me that I shouldnt

Then I would

Man, bad must mean good

Bad, bad, good



She thrust a tape in my cassette deck

She seemed a little eager

I said, "this sounds just like a t.v. ad"

She said it was bob seger

And the smoke danced loops from a cigarette

And her fingernails were silver like a shiny jet

And her lipstick stained the filter as she twirled it

Like a pink roulette wheel

Hmm-mmm

And would you like a gamble

She said, "lets go back to my flat

For a extra fifty dollars

Ill make you purr like an atomic cat"



Forbidden fruit

Ill scale your thorny vine

To reach the top

Ill scrape and twist my spine

Forbidden fruit

Man, what a joyous meal

It tastes so sweet

Ill even eat the peel

If they told me that I shouldnt

Then I would

Man, bad must mean good

Bad, bad, good



We sat on her floor

Connected like a human train

I talked on and on about my life

Her interest she just feigned

As she layed me down on a single bed

And the roof dripped rain all around
