She likes to suck the core of Eve's rotten apple
'cause that's what her father taught her when she was a child
she likes to drink the sweet, fermented serum from that apple
'cause that's what her mother was drinking the few times she ever smiled
she senses there's a better way but there's no one to help her find it
no good witch to show her the golden path
and no wizard to show what's inside her

so she'll keep sucking apple cores until her lips get too wrinkled
both by the acid and by the years
she'll drink so much of that serum that her body will wither
with nothing to renew her, not even the tears
she senses there's a better way but there's no one to help her find it
no good witch to show her the golden path
and no wizard to show what's inside her

she's got reason to run from wizards
and witches see her as competition
so alone like Joan of Arc in the end
she'll try to avoid suspicion
fling herself at the enemy like a human battering ram
under the circumstance she's doing the best she can

the apple is gonna fall and she's gonna eat
the apple's gonna fall
the apple's gonna fall
the apple's gonna fall
and the worms will crawl
