poison (live) - laurie anderson lyrics

Loading...

[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 gl-ss
and your heart
just grows
around it
a small bullet
a piece of gl-ss
and your heart
just grows
around it
