Forbidden Fruit

By Bruce Clifford

Tell your secrets from inside your dreams
Make your thoughts float to extremes
How do you do, how do you say it
There's so far to go and I can't take it

The forbidden fruit is so out of reach
Tangerine and lemon as sweet as a peach
The forbidden fruit is like lying on the beach
Sour to the touch yet short on the leach

Time is the essence
Who's got the time
Time is a killer
Are you afraid of mine?

The forbidden fruit is too far to touch
Mine turns to Jell-O and yours turns to mush
The forbidden fruit is like a chemical rush
Avoid the crush, avoid the rush

The forbidden fruit is so out of reach
Tangerine and lemon as sweet as a peach
The forbidden fruit is like lying on the beach
Sour to the touch yet short on the leach
