Intro: Ive got a girl named Appeline Prettiest thing Ive ever seen Theres no fire that burns So cool or so clean As my Appeline Oh my Appeline Well I walked through the valley Of the shadow and Ive seen The hunger of mercy The violence of dreams And the rainbows that shine On spilled gasoline But nothing shines like Appeline Nothing shines like Appeline And will you take me as I am? This bloodshot blue midnight Like a tatoo on my skin Will you tell me you love me? Will you tell me again And tell me one more time? Theyre selling heart attacks on credit And shadows on a screen And theyll grind your bones to dust In this American machine Where the firemen trade their water In for kerosene But Ill never trade My Appeline Never trade my Appeline Outro:
