Elvis Costello - Poisoned Rose Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The poisoned rose
  • That you gave to me
  • It left me half alive
  • And half in ecstasy
  • But if half of your love
  • Is all I can win
  • Give me just a fraction
  • But no more medicine
  • The poisoned rose
  • On a valentine card
  • That you take straight to the heart
  • That you call my junkyard
  • But if all I can do
  • Is save pieces of you
  • The piece of your mind
  • The piece of your heart
  • Didnt tear me apart
  • Like the poisoned rose
  • I received from you
  • I dont know
  • How we came to grow
  • Into this very sad affair
  • Everytime we do the decent thing
  • Somebody spikes the drink
  • And a single becomes a pair
  • The poisoned rose
  • That you wear at your best
  • That I keep pressed between the white sheets
  • Where you lie half undressed
  • I threw away my shirt and shoes
  • You looked and I dived in
  • Its just you and me now
  • cause I threw away the gin
  • I threw away your alibis
  • And all your worn-out clothes
  • I threw myself upon the floor
  • But I couldnt throw away
  • This poisoned rose
  • This poisoned rose
  • This poisoned rose
