lyrics

Since you met me you've been trying to pull me out of this apple pie bed
You've been pulling, you've been winching, you've been hoisting
But my legs are made of lead.

And all I could hear from the very start
was the frequency of your beating heart
I was consumed by greed
You were like weed in a time of need
Lord, I got down on my knees and believed!

Apple pie, where my body's made of lead (oh oh)
Apple pie bed, apple pie, where my body's made of lead (oh oh)
Apple pie bed, apple pie, where my body's made of lead (oh oh)
Apple pie bed, apple pie, where my body's made of lead

Since you met me you've been trying to pull me out of this cold, defiant soup
You've been pushing, you've been pinching, you've been prodding,
But my mind was in a loop.

And all I could hear from the dawn of man was the ocean in a cola can,
I was consumed by you, I was like beer in a glass to you,
Girl, I don't know what I'd do without you.

Apple pie, where my body's made of lead (oh oh)
Apple pie bed, apple pie, where my body's made of lead (oh oh)
Apple pie bed, apple pie, where my body's made of lead (oh oh)
Apple pie bed, apple pie, where my body's made of lead etc. etc...
