Apples & Onions Songtext
von Jess Penner

I got so excited when I saw you for the first time
you were fresh and inviting
perfectly enticing yeah
in the most distinctive hue of crisp white linen kissed with blue
all polished and sophisticated the finest specimen oh oh
where had you been
I′d searched between the leaves to no avail
I'd sat beneath the trees hoping the sky would send me
something so delicious
like apples and onions
like whisky and wine some are just born beautiful and some need time to
find out what they′re made of and
where they belong like apples and onions
you won't recognize me
when you see what I've become
from scrappy little fisherman to juicy little plum
from knotted hair and bruised up knees
to lips so sweet they′d make the bees
swarm around with jealousy you never saw this side of me
oh what lies beneath is not always as simple as it seems

like apples and onions
like whisky and wine some are just born beautiful
and some need time to
find out what they′re made of and
where they belong like apples and onions


what starts off intoxicating,
shiny and exhilarating
after a while It gets a little bit tired and
what at first seems dry and rough with skin so thick
and shell so tough you work so hard
to get inside and then you find something so delicious
