Intro:
Verse:
Hello!
..........................
ain t you as pretty as a peso
..........................
come and slip out of your halo let it slip
............................
and lose your grip a little while so let go!
come and slide outside your window
loosen up and feel the grass grow, the wind blow, the moon she s a-glowin
and she s throwin down a wicked little smile
Chorus:
.....................
Don tcha wanna tip the apple cart over, baby?
Don tcha wanna shoot an arrow at the sky?
............................
The fruit is throbbing on the vine.. so
.................................
many castles to storm and so little time!
Floatin downstream
on a river laden up with prayer and doubt and dreams
borne amongst the grit, the silt and salty things
overlooked and too small to be loved
Chorus:
Don tcha wanna knock the apple cart over, baby?
oil up your favorite monkeywrench now!
the fruit is throbbing on the vine.. so many castles to storm and so
little time!
Bridge:
...../....................
Mary, Mary the world is wild and wide
...............................
outside enough of castles and of kings get back to smaller and better
things!
Interlude:
.........
At the rat race baby, I couldn t even find a parking space
let the Joneses keep the whole damn chase
and their golden treadmills for first place
Chorus
Don tcha wanna knock the apple cart over, baby?
shoot another flaming arrow at the sky?
the fruit is throbbing on the vine.. so many castles to storm and so
little time!
Bridge:
Mary... Mary, the world is wild and wide outside
........................
enough of castles and of kings
.........................
down with empire, up with Spring
back to smaller and better things!
