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
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
 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!
Mary, Mary  the world  is wild and wide
 outside enough  of castles and of kings  get back to smaller and better
 things!
 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
 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!
 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!
