Rotten Apple

from Wicker Pants by Billy Webster

lyrics

Put the wrong shape in the right
Inside your copra line of sight
My opinion may not seem like much
But it’s my only fight about it with your beauty
And am I pretty anyway?
Sit the bedroom down within
Smells like frustration, tastes like tin
The window shutters, smoking cigarettes
To fill the ashtray in
I laid the groundwork for the evil version of myself today
The only place I’ve never been is everywhere
‘Cause my one and one-four is good for one fare
And since nothing is fair I get off at Lafayette and Broadway
And give my change away
The rotten apple wormed me out today
Turn the light on, stop the movie
Everybody’s acting like a bunch of fucking cappuccinos
Foaming at the top and they grow bitter in three minutes
I refuse to drink them anymore
The only thing I’ve never felt is everything
And my guitar has nothing to do with the scope of my sex
I simply play it ‘cause I have to, it’s all that I can do
And I don’t even know if it’s in tune
Dancing on the edge, and angel came to me
Took me to the ledge, took me by my feet
An angel dressed in black, and as her tongue rolled back
Her body sang to me

“Hey dig life, dig what you got
it may not seem like much, it may not seem a lot
dig how precious every second is”

But all that I could do…
Was scream and scream about the love I’d never felt
All the love I know, I’ll never feel it, never feel it
I know I’ll never really love
