Forbidden Fruit - The Band

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 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’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 to join 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
