Lyrics
Bad Apple
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A bath tub with a stranger
made love to a cajun dancer
Then several hous later
life's a little shoter
The drink that overwhelmed me
Such confusion over beauty
A poison for the lonely
for all the world to see
When you're out of time
This bad apple's no friend of mine
When what you want's not what you need
When who you love is not what they seem
When all you have you got for free
The things you do you don't believe
Mistakes you've made just never leave
When all you've had you got for free
A picture of Jesus on your windshield
a sunday afternoon
Drive for miles and miles together
Just me and you.
A wasted hour and I feel younger
a million miles away
The day I die gets a little closer
still here to stay
When you're out of time
This bad apple's no friend of mine
When what you want's not what you need
When who you love is not what they seem
When all you have you got for free
The things you do you don't believe
Mistakes you've made just never leave
When all you've had you got for free
