She hopped in my car faster than bar time "Honey would you like a date", she said It wasn't even an original line And my pants they tightened, and my face grew taut And in my mind my mother said "you'd better not" Then again she always told me that I wouldn't like the taste of beer Hmmmmm And she slid real close to me, she said I need not fear I look like I was caught in headlights With the eyes of a lonely deer Forbidden fruit I'll scale your thorny vine To reach the top I'll scrape and twist my spine Forbidden fruit Man what a joyous meal It tastes so sweet I'll even eat the peel If they told me that I shouldn't then I would Man bad must mean good Bad bad good She thrust a tape in my K7 deck She seemed a little eager I said "this sounds just like a TV ad" She said it was Bob Seger And the smoke dance loops from her cigarette And her fingernails were silver like a shiny jet And her lipsticks stained the filter as she twirled it Like a pink roulette wheel Mmmmmm Would you like a gamble She said "let's go back to my flat for a extra 50 dollars I make you purr like an atomic cat" Forbidden fruit I'll scale your thorny vine To reach the top I'll scrape and twist my spine Forbidden fruit Man what a joyous meal It tastes so sweet I'll even eat the peel If they told me that I shouldn't then I would Man bad must mean good Bad bad good We sat on her floor Connected like a human train I talked on and on about my life Her interest she just feigned And she laid me down on her single bed And the roof dripped rain all around my head And my ankles were filled with beads of sweat And the money looked so green Hmmmmm And she looked right through me As if I were a window And when we both were empty The neon left an eerie glow Forbidden fruit I'll scale your thorny vine To reach the top I'll scrape and twist my spine Forbidden fruit Man what a joyous meal It tastes so sweet I'll even eat the peel If they told me that I shouldn't then I would Man bad must mean good Why does bad always feel so good?
