Took the fruit to the machine and it spoke to me
Insert coin to the slot and I felt so free
Put the apple in the bag and I took it from the store
All completely within, the confines of the law
Heard the sound, saw the light
Hand on my shoulder, turned delight to fright

Don't take me away
Cause I got to explain
It's just the coding in my jacket seam
Don't take me away
Cause I got to explain
It's just one red apple and its not what it seems
Oh no

I turned and shot, and he fell down
I made my run down to Hamilton town
The sherif he caught me and put me in jail
Nobody came for, to pay my bail
I'm just overreacting, that's all in my head
So "it's just one red apple" to the guard I said

Don't take me away
Cause I got to explain
It's just the coding in my jacket seam
Don't take me away
Cause I got to explain
It's just one red apple and its not what it seems
Oh no

Please mister security guard
Looking past this ain't that hard
So please don't cause me no harm
It was my jacket that set off the alarm
For a dollar thirty-nine the apple was sold
And so the altercation was resolved

Don't take me away
Cause I got to explain
It's just the coding in my jacket seam
Don't take me away
Cause I got to explain
It's just one red apple and its not what it seems
Oh no
It's just one red apple and its not what it seems
It's just one red apple and its not what it seems
Oh no
