Come Bite The Apple Lyrics
How did I get here?
What song did I sing?
And just what have I done
To deserve such a thing?
You say - I've heard all that before
So won't you give it up babe - stop using me
You say - I've heard all that before
So bring me an apple - I'm cryin'
I been persecuted - like a lying man
The spirit provides me
[?]
The spirit gives but it also can take away
You say - I've heard all that before
So won't you give it up babe - just stop using me boy
You say - I've heard all that before
So come bite the apple
I'm run down
Like Soddom to Gammorah, all dead now
So please stop to laugh, and pity me
My soul means well, but I'm sorry
My skin it is withered and I'm nervous, yes I am
My future was in my hands till I washed it all away
Washed it all away
Said, get along - little sister
Heard you're doin' well
Get along little sister
Doin' well

Yeah this song is about heroin most likely, as he knows it's killing him but he also needs it, depends on it. great song, but has anyone noticed how aic's choruses for a lot of their songs have the same effect the choruses in this one has? with the higher-pitched and droning kinda wail? i dunno, i just noticed it earlier.
he went of smack to record this album but wanted one more bite of the apple, so to speak
Stone Gossard plays two an excellent solos on this song. The ending is easily as intense as anything Pearl Jam ever recorded...

Has anyone else noticed a relatively good amount of songs, especially from around '85 to '95 [so it'd make sense], where "apple" could easily be replaced with "heroin"? Does anyone know anything about that?
I was looking on the songmeanings page for "Rotten Apple" by Alice in Chains and the biblical reference of "apple" with the loss of innocence was brought up - that would make sense in the context of heroin maybe, too.
