The Poison Apple

Let’s see, I’m wasting time over him
Another night goes by and I’m growing thin
Regret’s taking the next train out of town
All along I’d known he’d bring me down

Lips, they’re tasting another breathe
Hearts, they’re telling another story
Now get up, get out, open those eyes
Reality is knocking down your front door
Another mistress is taking charge
And I’m telling you
You better get up, get out, open those eyes
He’s the poison apple and I’m the curse

He’s a sweetheart, he’s a charmer
Sweet nothings in your ears
Repeated slowly at half past nine
Those whispers of echoing despair

You’re trapped and you don’t even know it
Pleasure always comes with a price
Pleasure always comes with a price
Always with a price

Lips, they’re tasting another breathe
Hearts, they’re telling another story
Now get up, get out, open those eyes
Reality is knocking down your front door
Another mistress is taking charge
And I’m telling you
You better get up, get out, open those eyes
He’s the poison apple and I’m the curse

Another mistress is taking charge
And I’m telling you
You better get up, get out, open those eyes
He’s the poison apple…
