Baptizer, baptize her, rose water, soft daughter
Rectify and sanctify her, hold a moth and let it flutter
Don't forget to floralize, don't vocalize the smoke in eyes
Don't, don't, don't, strike

Catchin' on that distant lie she's gotta be divine
A death defier hanging on a burning tether line
Then line breaks, spine aches, coiled snake, broken rope, and Joanie chokes
Well they hope her perfume's stronger than the soul

Now here's what they'll do, see
They'll put an apple in your hand but don't you dare bite it
A match and a wick but don't you dare light it
They say temptation be a sin, don't look any more behind it
That's just how it is, don't you dare fight it
They'll put an apple in your hand but don't you dare bite it
A match and a wick but don't you dare light it
Life's only meant to live, don't fill it with excitement
Abstain, restrain, forgive, yeah, that's how he likes it

Wax-dripper, flame-kisser, lost-livered life giver
Crucify and waterlog the sinner mother, sinner daughter
She could take you by surprise
Beware the July fire ides
She's a locked and loaded inferno with underglow she cannot know
So drown that power 'fore it overflows
Sorry man, it's way too late, her choice is made, the apple's ate
The candle starts to flicker in a wicked little divine state

Rising and rising, gently respiring
They'll put an apple in your hand but don't you dare bite it
A match and a wick but don't you dare light it
They say temptation be a sin, don't look any more behind it
That's just how it is, don't you dare fight it
They'll put an apple in your hand but don't you dare bite it
A match and a wick but don't you dare light it
Life's only meant to live, don't fill it with excitement
Abstain, restrain, forgive, yeah, that's how we like it

She can't let the candle burn
She can't let the candle burn
So they've gotta teach so she knows how to learn
That she can't let the candle burn
She can't let the candle burn
She can't let the candle burn
So they've gotta teach so she knows how to learn
That she can't let the candle burn
Why? I dunno

An apple in your hand but don't you dare bite it
A match and a wick but don't you dare light it
Life's only meant to live, don't fill it with excitement
Abstain, restrain, forgive
Or something like that
