High and lonesome out on Times Square
Havent got a dime, aint got a prayer
Deliver us, Lord, from this golden calf
People only want what they cannot have
Forbidden fruit
Thats the fruit that youd better not taste
Forbidden fruit
Youve got one life that youd better not waste
How can I walk with this ball and chain?
How can I land in this hurricane?
Or is this part of mans evolution
To be torn between truth and illusion?
Forbidden fruit
Thats the route that youd better not take
Forbidden fruit
Just watch out for the sign of the snake
You got the picture but missed the drift
About me workin the graveyard shift
I never went in for no burglary
But theres a stranger inside of me
Forbidden fruit
Dont you shoot the whole works away
Forbidden fruit
Its too high of a price to pay
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
How can you hear with a bad connection?
You cant see when theres no reception
Just keep your distance, dont fool with taboo
Cause itll overtake and undertake you
Forbidden fruit
Thats the fruit that youd better not taste
Forbidden fruit
Youve got one life that youd better not waste
