Poison

[Verse 1]

I've got a house in the back of my head

But I can't find a permanent resident

Cause the market's down

And the area's not so good these days

I've got a watch but I don't have time

I've got a road and it leads to decadence

But a dead end sign waits down the line

I leave my footprints for the evidence

[Chorus]

So take my life, I'll hand it to you

And you can try on my clothes

But you can't fill these shoes

On a silver platter your wish came true

So your heart of gold turned platinum

You can take my life (oh)

But you can't take it with you

[Verse 2]

More long days and fleeting nights

I tell them, "Wake me under flashing lights"

Cause I'm a brand name bought and sold

(Sold, sold, sold)

They say a face for fame is a crying shame

Because to face the crowd is to play the game

And I can play a little too rough

Now and again (every now and again)

You drank the poison and I let you in

[Chorus]

So take my life, I'll hand it to you

And you can try on my clothes

But you can't fill these shoes

On a silver platter your wish came true

So your heart of gold turned platinum

You can take my life (oh)

But you can't take it with you

[Bridge]

You drank the poison and I, I let you in

Would you trade that heart of gold for a minute in my skin?

You drank the poison and I, I let you in

Would you trade that heart of gold for a minute in my skin?

[Chorus]

So take my life, I'll hand it to you

And you can try on my clothes

But you can't fill these shoes

On a silver platter your wish came true

So your heart of gold turned platinum

You can take my life (oh)

But you can't take it with you
