Well, the word "apple" does appear earlier in the song. I had been content to speculate that it was yet another use of visual imagery of duality and original sin which reoccur in her work, echoing the concepts of both "For The Roses" and "Don't Interrupt The Sorrow." The "apple of temptation" might be no more than another reference to New York City, cast in an exotic light for someone (Sharon) who might pine for grand experiences (or a modest wedding) that lie outside their own simpler routine. And yes, I agree with the inference that the "diamond snake" is tethering her to those things she's not ready to give up (just yet).
