Take A Bite
Ive searched for secrets in the stars,
In the tea leaves and the tarot cards
But lately Ive come to understand
The answer lies in the palm of your hand
Were not really ruled by unknown forces
Lifes a banquet, and were just between courses
And I believe the original sin
Is giving up and giving in
And frankly, Eve, that snake was right
If there is an apple left, I want a bite
So turn a corner and open a door
You might find something you werent looking for
And then youll know that snake was right
See that apple? Take a bite
There are people out there I havent met yet
After all Ive been through
If I still dont know what to expect
Honey, how can you?
Lifes a candy store, my sweet
And weve got all the nickels that we need
And at my age, who wants to diet?
If its creamy and sweet, I gotta try it
Rules were made by fools like me for younger fools to break
Why some of my best memories are of my worst mistakes
Oh, Ive had it all, and Ive had most of it removed
Time takes its toll, Im telling you
The years may sneak up from behind so you might as well make friends with time
And when its going up in smoke, remember lifes a punch line, thats the joke
And dont you know the snake was right
See that apple? Take a bite
See that apple? Take a bite
See that apple? Mmmm
