Poison/Antidote Lyrics

Her name was Poison

Zeitgeist deterrent

Wouldn't that make your mama cry

The boys want her sweet

And crouch at her feet

Until the thrill of the moment dies

She coughs up her lies and strings them up

Until they glitter in the afternoon glow

She distracts herself with false pretenses

Until she hits the pillow

No amount of sugar can hide the fact

That she's just a

Poison arrow

A poison arrow

A bitter mellow

Waiting for the right one

The right one

The right one

To swing along

Ooh ah ey yay

Sing it

Ooh ah ey yay

His name was Antidote

Born on a feather

Wouldn't that make him a god?

The girls want him hot

And claw at the spout

Of his fountain

That makes earth fertile

He heard about her

Word on the street

Said he could cure her vices

By the end of the night

They went to bed

Not a word was said

But the one thing he didn't know

No amount of sugar can hide the fact

That she's just a

Poison arrow

A poison arrow

A bitter mellow

Waiting for the right one

The right one

The right one

To swing along

After it was done, he couldn't let go

Not even he was enough a cure

But then she smiled and she laughed

And she scratched his back

And moaned in his ear so low

So low

So low

This is what she said

No amount of sugar can hide the fact

That I'm just a

Poison arrow

A poison arrow

A bitter mellow

Waiting for the right one

The right one

The right one

To swing along

She keeps on dreaming for

The right one

The right one

To swing along

She keeps on dreaming for

The right one

The right one

To swing along

She keeps on dreaming for

The right one

The right one

To swing along

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

But she doesn't learn

She doesn't learn

No amount of sugar can hide the fact

That she's just a poison arrow

A poison arrow

A bitter mellow

Waiting for the right one

The right one

The right one

To swing along
