Lyrics
Forbidden fruit
Junkyard dogs and security alarms,
more people carrying just to do some harm.
And neither love and laughter ,
nor pride, nor poise,
is going to save you face
in front of the boys.
Forbidden fruit,
it seems so out of place.
Forbidden fruit,
one life you better not waste.
Forbidden fruit,
going out on a limb.
Forbidden fruit,
keeps the world from closing in.
Ambulance siren other side of the hill,
I can hear it a cryin’ still.
Another sad statement
on a forgotten street.
A darkened corner
where opportunity meets…
Forbidden fruit,
don’t you throw the works away.
Forbidden fruit,
it’s too high a price to pay.
Forbidden fruit,
going out on a limb......
Forbidden fruit,
keeps the world from closing in.
Homeless folks in union square,
a broken people without a prayer.
Darwin’s theory
makes some sense.
Survival is more
than coincidence.
Forbidden fruit,
people living day to day.
Forbidden fruit,
with problems that won’t go away.
Forbidden fruit,
going out on a limb.
Forbidden fruit,
keeps the world from closing in.
