Lyrics
Poison Heart
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.
No one ever thought this one would survive
Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind
I lock you in a dream, I never let you go
I never let you laugh or smile, not you
Well, I just want to walk right out of this world
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
I just want to walk right out of this world
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
Making friends with a homeless torn up man
He just kind of smiles, it really shakes me up
There's danger on every corner but I'm okay
I'm walking down the street trying to forget yesterday
Well, I just want to walk right out of this world
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
I just want to walk right out of this world
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
A poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart, yeah
You know that life really takes its toll
And a poet's gut reaction is to search his very soul
So much damn confusion before my eyes
But nothing seems to phase me and this one still survives
I just want to walk right out of this world
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
I just want to walk right out of this world
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
Well, I just want to walk right out of this world
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
A poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart
A poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart
