Strange Fruit
Tree of Truths
There it is, I reach for it I see
the strange fruit on the tree
The same tree which endured rope burns
is now bearing fruit...I think I see...
Yes, I see
Erin Burnett that little girl I see
reaching for a piece from this tree...
that wisp of a girl like a Chinese noodle I see
her skinny arm reaching for the odd thing...
that scabrous nasty fruit, misshapen and scarred...
What a pungent, bitter seed!
the strange fruit on the tree
The same tree which endured rope burns
is now bearing fruit...I think I see...
Yes, I see
Erin Burnett that little girl I see
reaching for a piece from this tree...
that wisp of a girl like a Chinese noodle I see
her skinny arm reaching for the odd thing...
that scabrous nasty fruit, misshapen and scarred...
What a pungent, bitter seed!
