We learned this lesson five times find:
Fake left, go right, back-stabs read minds!
Taillights shine beautiful
They make halos on the road.
Don't give our keys to the city to
Shark-suits, B-sides, free-things-please!
I left the code at the coat-check
Pointed to the word on my neck
That's me, all night on stand-by
Three words, three things, oh please please!
Don't, don't drink poison
Don't, don't drink poison
Don't, don't drink poison
Don't, don't drink poison!
Wolf Girl, poolside, I'm in the lobby
Gay concierge-spy high fives me
It's all cool, enemy-style
Smile at the TV while you download her file
Watch for the quick slip, money shot, vid clip
Walk by slowly, pass me the nurse kit
Don't be fooled by the sister vocab
Keep it light, put it on her tab
Heads up for this tonight
It's someone you'll recognize
Looks like lips and feels like teeth
Always waving to the people from the magazine
There's one thing they love to see
It's tear jerks for charity
And blank smirks all the way to the airport
There's one drink, on ice, oh I think it's
Don't, don't drink poison
Don't, don't drink poison
Don't, don't drink poison
Don't, don't drink poison!
They say trouble comes in threes
I say, Chicken Caesar grows on trees
It could be lucky to be out of luck, I mean
Better than to take the test where
Amnesiacs must write on napkins
Prepare for what might happen
In a trance from polished talk we think
Throat-coat, lemon-lime, hot choc, oh!
Don't, don't drink poison
Don't, don't drink poison
Don't, don't drink poison
Don't, don't drink poison!
Wolf Girl, poolside, I'm in the lobby
Fem Exec is right behind me
Almost there, through the glass doors
Against the wall, on the third floor
We found a robot hand
Hidden in a potted plant
And we're not too nice to notice
When white wine stinks and we're misquoted
Oh please please please
Oh please please please
Oh please please please
Oh please please don't
Oh please please don't
Oh please please don't… DRINK POISON!
