My lifetime's habits will remain 
this crush of hearts won't go away 
tonight, one way, once and for all 
good times aren't possible today 

I took a little poison 
I took it carefully 
it built for me 
a house on fire 
this poison takes after me 

This poison came too far to fail 
desire unwinds in the last hour 
within, the bed is overturned 
my host, the antidote is sour 

I took a little poison ... 

Now put me down upon the lawn 
right here - next to my favourite tree 
I'm being foolish - can't you tell! 
they all look just the same to me 

I took a little poison ...
