The Effect
(Kevin Browne)
November, 2005
I see the fruit upon the table, I let it catch my eye
Moving closer I adore it, but hesitate cause I
Want to draw the knife to cut it and then eat a slice
But I dare not want to taste it or I will surely die, I will surely die
Caught in this ancient war
Satan laughs as he keeps score
Telling me that I need more
(I) can’t believe it
I see the fruit upon its branches, I wander closer by
Moving closer I see color, but hesitate cause I
Want to reach out with my hands and then pluck it
But my conscience it does prick me and tells me I would die, I would surely die
-chorus –
(repeat first verse)
