The first bite of the apple made Eve smart The second bite taught her how to break men's hearts The third bite taught her how to strut her stuff But she never got to the fourth bite that says Enough is enough Enough is enough, baby, I've had enough of you You can keep your dresses, you can keep your jewels You can keep the color TV, those soaps just make me sick All I'm asking you to leave me is my red joystick My red joystick, my red joystick All I'm asking you to leave me is my red joystick My red joystick, my red joystick All I'm asking you to leave me is my red joystick Eve kissed Able, that's how he got murdered by Cain Abraham gave up his son to keep his wife away And even the Lord almighty Speaking from the trenches to the pits Spoke for all mankind when he said Take the Porsche, take the kids Take the stocks, baby take the rugs Take those roses from my poor heart wilting But please, please, please leave me my red joystick Leave me my red joystick Leave me my red joystick Leave me my red joystick Eve drank apple cider, Eve brewed good apple wine Eve cooked up stewed apples, knew how to have a good time She came into the bedroom, raised her skirts up high She said, "If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, baby Give me a piece before I die" |

D

If you gave up major vices, you're between a hard place and a wall

D

G

A

And your car breaks down in traffic on the street

Remember, I'm the one who loves you, you can always give me a call

G

A

D

Turn to me, turn to me, baby, turn to me If your father is freebasing and your mother turning tricks That's still no reason you should have a rip Remember, I'm the one who loves you, you can always give me a call Turn to me, turn to me, turn to me When your teeth are ground down to the bone and there's nothing between your legs And some friend died of something that you can't pronounce, ah Remember, I'm the one who loves you, hey baby, you can always give me a call Turn to me, turn to me, turn to me

Instrumental verse

You can't pay your rent, your boss is an idiot, and your apartment has no heat And your wife says, "Maybe It's time to have a child" Remember, I'm the one who loves you, and you can always give me a call Turn to me, turn to me, turn to me When it's all too much you turn the TV set on and light a cigarette And then a public service announcement comes creeping on And you see a lung corroding or a fatal heart attack Turn to me, turn to me, baby, turn to me, I'm just a phone call away

G

A

D

Turn to me, turn to me, hey, turn to me, one .... a dollar Turn to me, baby, turn to me (Turn to me, turn to me, turn to me) (Turn to me, turn to me, turn to me)

Talkin' 'bout some new sensations I want the principles of a timeless muse I want to eradicate my negative views And get rid of those people who are always on a down It's easy enough to tell what is wrong But that's not what I want to hear all night long Some people are like human Tuinals Ooh, new sensations Ooh, ooh, new sensations Talkin' 'bout some new sensations Talkin' a new sensations I took my GPZ out for a ride The engine felt good between my thighs The air felt cool, it was forty degrees outside I rode to Pennsylvania near the Delaware Gap Sometimes I got lost and had to check the map I stopped at a roadside diner for a burger and a coke There were some country folk and some hunters inside Somebody got themselves married and somebody died I went to the juke box and played a hillbilly song They was arguing about football as I waved and went outside And I headed for the mountains feeling warm inside I love that GPZ so much, you know that I could kiss her Ooh, new sensations Ooh, ooh, new sensations Talkin' 'bout your new sensations Talkin' new sensations Ooh, new sensations Ooh, new sensations Ooh, new sensations Ooh, new sensations Ooh, new sensations ...

I would not run from the Holocaust I would not run from the bomb I'd welcome the chance to meet my maker And fly into the sun Fly into the sun Fly into the sun I'd break up into million pieces And fly into the sun I would not run from the blazing light I would not run from its rain I'd see it as an end to misery As an end to worldly pain An end to worldly pain An end to worldly pain I'd shine by the light of the unknown moment To end this worldly pain And fly into the sun Fly into the sun I'd shine by the light of the unknown moment And fly into the sun The earth is weeping, the sky is shaking The stars split to their core And every proton and unnamed neutron Is fusing in my bones And an unnamed mammal is darkly rising As man burns from his tomb And I look at this as a blissful moment To fly into the sun Fly into the sun Fly into the sun I'd burn up into a million pieces And fly into the sun To end this mystery Answer my mystery I'd look at this as a wondrous moment To end this mystery Fly into the sun Fly into the sun I'd break up into a million pieces And fly into the sun
