Lyrics

Bad Apple

A bathtub with a stranger

Made love to a Cajun dancer

Then several hours later

Life's a little shorter

The drink that overwhelmed me

Such confusion owns the beauty

A poison for the lonely

For all the world to see

When you're out of time

This bad apple's no friend of mine

So what you want

So what you need

Cause who you love

Aren't what they seem

When all you have you got for free

The things you do you don't believe

The mistakes you've made just never leave

When all you have you got for free

A picture of Jesus on your windshield

A Sunday afternoon

Drive for miles and miles together

Just me and you

Wasted out and I feel younger

A million miles away

The day I die gets a little closer

Still here to stay

When you're out of time

This bad apple's no friend of mine

So what you want

So what you need

Cause who you love

Aren't what they seem

When all you have you got for free

The things you do you don't believe

The mistakes you've made just never leave

When all you have you got for free

So what you want

So what you need

Cause who you love

Aren't what they seem

When all you have you got for free

The things you do you don't believe

The mistakes you've made just never leave

When all you have you got for free
