lyrics

A PIECE OF CHERRY PIE

Went to his doctor just the other day
Clean bill of health for this D.O.A
But something’s burnin’ like a bullet hole
He wakes up crazy and aches and moans
He’s in a state where he spends too much time on his own
He needs a reason...

That’s why this bastard’s beggin’ for a taste of cherry pie
A piece can bring a smile to this sad and lonely guy
Needs a piece of cherry pie

Don’t try to talk to him ‘cause he’s like Jupiter on Mars
But underneath the skin a child cryin’ out
His deepest fears exposed
They could bring an airplane down
And he won’t be happy till his emptiness has been drowned and he finds a reason...

That’s why this bastard’s beggin’ for a taste of cherry pie
A piece can bring a smile to this sad and lonely guy
That’s why this bastard’s beggin’ for a taste of cherry pie
That’s what he needs to function on this roller coaster ride
Needs a piece of cherry pie
Needs it bad - Needs it bad

Well he won’t take your money
He’s got better things to do with his time
He won’t take your wisdom
No, all he wants is a piece from nature’s divine
And he wants it now!

That’s why this bastard’s beggin’ for a taste of cherry pie
A piece can bring a smile to this sad and lonely guy
That’s why this bastard’s beggin’ for a taste of cherry pie
That’s what he needs to function on this roller coaster ride
Needs a piece of cherry pie
