burning a candle at both ends life is sweet like sugar on concrete face to the sun trying not to burn up a poison apple a poison fruit it takes what life it gives to you so tired i'm not giving up a worker's spirit holding onto it just for the hope and love just for the hope and love all you know all you care why can't it be everywhere a poison apple a poison fruit it takes the life right out of you work for the bright lights starry eyes face to the sun face to the sun for the hope and love
