Take a Bite lyrics

I’ve searched for secrets in the stars,

In the tea leaves and the tarot cards

But lately I’ve come to understand

The answer lies in the palm of your hand

We’re not really ruled by unknown forces

Life’s a banquet, and we’re just between courses

And I believe the original sin

Is giving up and giving in

And frankly, Eve, that snake was right

If there is an apple left, I want a bite

So turn a corner and open a door

You might find something you weren’t looking for

And then you’ll know that snake was right

See that apple? Take a bite

There are people out there I haven’t met yet

After all I’ve been through

If I still don’t know what to expect

Honey, how can you?

Life’s a candy store, my sweet

And we’ve got all the nickels that we need

And at my age, who wants to diet?

If it’s creamy and sweet, I gotta try it

Rules were made by fools like me for younger fools to break

Why some of my best memories are of my worst mistakes

Oh, I’ve had it all, and I’ve had most of it removed

Time takes its toll, I’m telling you

The years may sneak up from behind so you might as well make friends with time

And when it’s going up in smoke, remember life’s a punch line, that’s the joke

And don’t you know the snake was right

See that apple? Take a bite

See that apple? Take a bite

See that apple? Mmmm…
