Poison Apple

Well you don't think that it's working

Cuz you don't think it's sublime

And these windows only hurt you

As you hold me close tonight

I've been dreaming still of wingless birds that circle in the sky

Certain to plummet forth the second they look down from up on high

If I'm relying

On hearing silver bells ring

Then why keep trying

If the angels aren't singing

Hallelujiah

I'm gonna go and bring the poison apple to ya

Once you know, it's down you go

If your birds are hell bent

On seeking the heaven sent

Then don't you try to be content

With anything a little less

So let's carry on

Now that the going's really gone

No more to idealize now that I've realized how I was wrong

And don't bring around that mirror

A would-be curse, to see the worst, and see it all in me

And all these bruises on my wings

From flying far too high to sing the hallelujiah

I'm gonna go and bring the poison apple to ya

Once you know, it's down you go

If your birds are hell bent

On seeking what's heaven sent

Then don't you try to be content

With anything a little less

If knowledge of the future was the only reason why

Then your innocence forsook you

When you brought our love to die

I've been dreaming still of wingless birds that circle in the sky...

If I'm relying

On hearing silver bells ring

Then why keep trying

Cuz you know they won't sing

I thought I knew ya

But you don't think that we belong together, do ya?

So swing your sack over your shoulder and be gone

Oh, what have I done?
