Steve Poltz - Forbidden Fruit lyrics

She hopped in my car faster than bar time "honey, would you like a date," she said It wasn't even an original line And my pants they tightened And my face grew taut And in my mind my mother said, "you'd better not" Then again she always told me That i wouldn't like the taste of beer Hmm-mmm And she slid real close to me She said i need not fear I looked like i was caught in headlights With the eyes of a lonely deer Forbidden fruit I'll scale your thorny vine To reach the top I'll scrape and twist my spine Forbidden fruit Man, what a joyous meal It tastes so sweet I'll even eat the peel If they told me that i shouldn't Then i would Man, bad must mean good Bad, bad, good She thrust a tape in my ca**ette deck She seemed a little eager I said, "this sounds just like a t.v. ad" She said it was bob seger And the smoke danced loops from a cigarette And her fingernails were silver like a shiny jet And her lipstick stained the filter as she twirled it Like a pink roulette wheel Hmm-mmm And would you like a gamble She said, "let's go back to my flat For a extra fifty dollars I'll make you purr like an atomic cat" Forbidden fruit I'll scale your thorny vine To reach the top I'll scrape and twist my spine Forbidden fruit Man, what a joyous meal It tastes so sweet I'll even eat the peel If they told me that i shouldn't Then i would Man, bad must mean good Bad, bad, good We sat on her floor Connected like a human train I talked on and on about my life Her interest she just feigned As she layed me down on a single bed And the roof dripped rain all around
