Poison Apple

Well you don't think that it's working
Cuz you don't think it's sublime
And these windows only hurt you
As you hold me close tonight

I've been dreaming still of wingless birds that circle in the sky
Certain to plummet forth the second they look down from up on high

If I'm relying
On hearing silver bells ring
Then why keep trying

If the angels aren't singing
Hallelujiah
I'm gonna go and bring the poison apple to ya
Once you know, it's down you go
If your birds are hell bent
On seeking the heaven sent
Then don't you try to be content
With anything a little less

So let's carry on
Now that the going's really gone
No more to idealize now that I've realized how I was wrong
And don't bring around that mirror
A would-be curse, to see the worst, and see it all in me

And all these bruises on my wings
From flying far too high to sing the hallelujiah
I'm gonna go and bring the poison apple to ya
Once you know, it's down you go
If your birds are hell bent
On seeking what's heaven sent
Then don't you try to be content
With anything a little less

If knowledge of the future was the only reason why
Then your innocence forsook you
When you brought our love to die
I've been dreaming still of wingless birds that circle in the sky...

If I'm relying
On hearing silver bells ring
Then why keep trying
Cuz you know they won't sing

I thought I knew ya
But you don't think that we belong together, do ya?
So swing your sack over your shoulder and be gone
Oh, what have I done?
