lyrics

I was kissed by a rose
I bit that apple
I know I should repent
But stricken by love
I drank that poison
I’ll live but I lament

All these years
It ain’t been easy
That I will confess
So cheated by time
Bitten by alcohol
Still I do my best

But please don’t wait
For me in heaven
I might not get in
Some are saved
Some forgiven
But you’re my original sin

I know I’m not
A great believer
My fate is signed and sealed
Surrounded by clouds
Rain and thunder
All will be revealed
And when the Lord
In all his wisdom
Looks upon my face
I’ll look him in the eyes
And I’ll plead guilty
For all the human race

But please don’t wait
For me in heaven
I might not get in
Some are saved
Some forgiven
But you’re my original sin
Please don’t wait
For me in heaven
I might not get in
Some are saved
Some forgiven
You’re my original sin

I was kissed by a rose
I bit that apple
I know I should repent
I know I should repent
I know I should repent

Please don’t wait
For me in heaven
I might not get in
Please don’t wait
For me in heaven
I might not get in
So please don’t wait for me in heaven
I might not get in
Some are saved
Some forgiven
But I might not get in

I might not get in
I might not get in
I might not get in
