Despite being our standard set closer for nearly seven years, this isn't on any albums, only here folks.

lyrics

Solitary fruit from the garden
That I have spent my time planting,
Has ripened but now rots on the vine.
Must I begin again?

I'll grease my silver tongue with shame,
Foolish wrath and selfish rage -
Though I do not feel them now, I know how they feel,
And I'll build my folly on their name.

Can I get the money now?

Another beauty in my bath tub,
Another failing enterprise.
While I'm staring at the sunrise, I crash into the car in front.
Damn my wandering eyes...

Can I get the money now?
Can I get the money now?

Solitary fruit from the garden
That I have spent my time planting,
Has ripened but now rots on the vine.
Must I begin again?
