The Worm In The Apple 歌詞
The Worm in the Apple - Ezra Furman And The Harpoons
I'm gonna sit on a big fluffy cloud
Looking down at the tops
Of the heads of the crowds
Moving round and around
The dark center of town
With their eyes all
Searching for something
That can't be found
I'm gonna laugh
At the top of my lungs til
I can't quite remember
Just what the joke was
But the laughter will fill up
My body with love
Which is always what I've been told
I'm supposed to want
And I'm gonna fly
On a plane to the sky
Which my mind
Will devise using science
That's being forgotten
Cause I'm getting
Bored of the town of New York
How the world's been transformed
Into a big apple
And it's gotten so rotten
Oh
While all the world
Makes money so stoically
I will be building my home out of poetry
Scraps of old volumes wire and glue
Will be something
Though feeble it's all I can do
In the back of the room
My fingers will shake
With the fury of someone
With something to make
That will take him
So far far away from this place
That he'll never look back at
All the worms and the snakes
And they'll lick at my heals
But they aren't even real
I will twirl and wheel through
The skyway high over the steeple
And I'll take you with me
And we'll grow old and lovely
We'll eat fine apples from
The tree of knowledge of good and evil
You won't know about that
Burning with all the things I must do
To get free of the wasteland
Of wire and glue
I am wandering from cage
To cage at the bronx zoo
And I'm renaming all of the animals
I can't just wait
On my knees in the chapel
To be bitten into
Like a worm in the apple
I'm digging for freedom
Guitar for a shovel
I'm dirty my fingertips hurt me
The kids of atlantis magazines
Beneath the mattress
With their names in the atlas of
Heartbreak are calling my name
And I'm feeling baffled
The worm in the apple
But the cold water tap
Will rain down upon me
And nothing will be the same
It's all gonna be different now
I hope
