Poison (live) Lyrics
[Intro]
It was one of those black cat nights
The moon had gone out and the air was thin
It was the kind of night the cat would drag in
[Verse 1]
I'll never forget it
We had a fight
Then you turned around
Turned out the lights
You left our bed
Then you moved downstairs
To live with her instead
Yeah just one floor and a shout away
I guess I should have moved
But I decided to stay
[Chorus]
Did I drink some poison
That I don't remember now?
Did I drink some poison
That I just don't remember now?
[Verse 2]
And every night
I open all the windows
I let a cold dark wind blow through
I play loud organ music
And I talk to myself and dream of you
Uh oh!
I hear voices coming up through the pipes
Through all the springs in my bed
And up through the lights
The volume goes up
And then it drops back down
I can hear the two of you playing records
Moving furniture and fooling around
[Chorus]
Did I drink some poison
That I don't remember now?
Did I drink some poison
That I just don't remember now?
Is there blood on my hands?
No, my hands are clean
Did I do something in another lifetime
That was really really mean?

[Verse 3]
Yeah I'm hearing voices
Think I'm losing my mind
Think I'm going crazy
Gotta get out
I run into the streets
I start to shout
Get out of my way!
Get out! Get out!
[Chorus]
Did I drink some poison
That I don't remember now?
Did I drink some poison
That I just don't remember now?
Is there blood on my hands?
Did I do something in another lifetime
That was really really mean?
[Outro]
A small bullet
A piece of glass
And your heart
Just grows
Around it
A small bullet
A piece of glass
And your heart
Just grows
Around it
