Bài hát Poison Oak Báo Lỗi

"Poison Oak"


Poison oak, some boyhood bravery

When a telephone was a tin can on a string

And I fell asleep with you still talking to me

You said you weren't afraid to die


In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes

Were you made ashamed, why'd you lock them in a drawer?

I don't think that I ever loved you more


Then when you turned away

When you slammed the door

When you stole the car

And drove towards Mexico

And you wrote bad checks

Just to fill your arm

I was young enough, I still believed in war


Well, let the poets cry themselves to sleep

And all their tearful words will turn back into steam


But me I'm a single cell

On a serpents tongue

There's a muddy field where a garden was

And I'm glad you got away

But I'm still stuck out here

My clothes are soaking wet

From your brother's tears


And I never thought this life was possible

You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for


The end of paralysis

I was a statuette

Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench

And when I press the keys

It all gets reversed

The sound of loneliness makes me happier
