Apple Falls Off The Tree
03:25
|
|||
--LYRICS--
Verse 1:
The apple falls off the tree.
Then I saw it hit a leaf.
It rolled on into a stream.
And floated out to the sea.
Pre #1:
See how different we are.
Can’t you see, see how different we are.
You know I love you, but we are not the same.
The only thing that keeps me from killin’ you
Is your last name.
Verse 2:
The apple falls off the tree.
A child picks it up to eat.
And leaves it lyin’ in the street.
The rains wash it out to sea.
Pre #2:
See how different we've grown.
Can’t you see, see how different we've grown.
You know I love you, but we are not the same.
The only thing that keeps me from killin’ you
Is your last name.
Verse 3:
The apple falls off the tree.
It never stays where it should be.
Cause one day it’s gotta break free. (Free)
And start its own family
Pre #3:
Leave our differences out.
Can we leave, leave our differences out.
You know I love you, cause I guess we are the same,
But the only thing that keeps me from killin’ you,
(The only thing that keeps me)
Oh the only thing that keeps me from killin’ you,
Is your Last name.
You drive me crazy sometimes….but you know I love ya.

There’s no fight. No life.
Verse 2:
You and your Queen, you just sit around and watch the paintings dry. How dry.
Well you and your Queen, you just send your people out like pawns to die.
And they die. But so why?

You don't take us serious, anymore.
Chorus:
You were the King.
You had everything.
But you lost your mind when she became your dream.
You and your queen.
Verse 3:
You and your Queen, you don't battle back you just accept defeat. You’re beat.
You and your Queen, you’re just suckin' face and messin' up the sheets. All week.
You just sleep.
--Pre--
--Chorus--
Verse 4:
You and your Queen plan to wait at home until the war is through.
And it’s all through. (Believe it or not)
You and your Queen think you'll always be on top but it's not true.
No it’s not true. You'll loose.
