Poison
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Voodoo spell
Ocean morgue
Like a whale
Swallows you whole
Dentless
Merciless
Dentless
Merciless dictator
She sleighs the necks of giraffes
Merciless dictator
She sleeps on pillows made of zebra skin
Oh, squakin', talkin' blasted pigeon
Parrot portuguese
Black icky tongue
And the purple clouds,
Dry, like painted
Desert flowers
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Dry, like painted
Desert flowers
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Watch out for the snakes
(Poison, her tears are poison)
Watch out for the velvet cross
(Her tears are poison)
Watch out for the panthers
(Her tears are)
Leaping from her spit, oh
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
Her tears are
Poison, her tears are poison
Her tears are poison
