Arrah & The Ferns Apple For Evan
The wind brushes you backwards
after 20 years you had hoped it would
Is it too late now or is it only getting dark out?
You say her name like one would (Evan!)
Read the Bible each night before drifting off to sleep--
To spring you heavenward
But what is it about her
that makes all your synapses go crazy inside your brain?
What is it that makes you complain to me?
You should be warned, flowers will change
And girls befriend snakes when they want their way
You should be told of Adam and Eve,
A girl will deceive if you give her and apple
Keep in mind like heavy drinks
She's hard to keep down
Will you regret saying it too much to her tonight?
When you wake up in shame, sweat beating off of your face,
Your stomach out of place, feel the cold tiles of the bathroom floor...
Could you want it anymore?
Could you want it anymore?
Could you want it anymore?
Could you want it anymore?
Could you want her anymore....?
