Lyrics
{Apples and Oranges}
You seem to think you've got a hold on me
You seem to think you're using me
You'll never know oh You'll never know x3
Inefficient Eyes that blink and miss sunsets
Wax gets in your eyes when mannequins get upset
Blood drips from the Ozone and some Orange Trees too
Machiavelli sang "what's good for you?"
You'll never know oh You'll never know x3
Right when the world pins me down and thinks its won
{that's just what I want you to think}
Right when they count me out and say its all done
{that's just what I want you to think}
BackStory
..Apples and Oranges is reference to this one ::

..I think I wanted to cover this Frank Sinatra song at one point ::
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_dWa_cbrEE
and the smoke curling around him got mixed up with the idea of 'smoke gets in your eyes' :: and then, probably from watching too many old Italian movies like this one where the mannequins come alive,::

..the line about Wax getting in your eyes landed perfectly within an angry narrative about people who think they have you where they want you,, when they may not know they're being manipulated into a false confidence... ...seeming vulnerable and subordinate is a better vantage point than feeling in control in certain positions,,, so here's another song for the underdogs that know to wait for their time >>> 10-4
FANS!!!
