letra de bad fruit - john wesley harding
[verse 1]
on the long slow slide to calvary
was it an airplane flying home?
well, i met her when i was born
and we went off to rome (r-o-m-e)
oh, we ended up in italy
the rain was pouring down
she was wearing her party dress
she’d got me dressed up like a pierrot clown
[verse 2]
as the sun climbed up my window
the alarm went off again
i had to leave right after that warning
well, i just could not be sustained
well, i took my love for her away
but it never left my mind
she said, “you know i don’t mind looking you in my еyes
but i wish you wouldn’t be unkind”
[chorus]
and i said, “from one quick bitе of a bad fruit
to today in seconds flat
have you still got that hat i gave you?
do you still think that it will save you?
and just between you and me
this life is not as long as it’s cracked up to me
well, i’ve been here so long
you know it feels like i’m growing roots
took one quick bite of a bad fruit”
one quick bite of a bad fruit
[verse 3]
well, i fell in love with being in love
and she fell in love with a snake
and all he gave her was social security
and a slice of his birthday cake
and i went back to the house we renovated
in that row on nowhere street
and i just sat there writing my obituary
waiting for a chance to complete it
[verse 4]
something happened in some big city
somewhere, sometime, somehow
that’s as far as i can go
i checked in my pockets
and the petals you gave me were still in there
so it wasn’t a dream i know
as my ships sailed from the harbour
she waved from on dry land
a redheaded woman, she told me last thursday
“you gotta go backwards if you wanna understand”
[chorus]
i shout, “from one quick bite of a bad fruit
to today in seconds flat
have you still got that cat i gave you?
do you still think that it can save you?
and just between you and me
this life is not as long as it’s cracked up to me
well, i’ve been here so long
you know it feels like i’m growing roots
and it just took one quick bite of a bad fruit”
one quick bite of a bad fruit (hit the chord)
