I just want to walk right out of this world

'Cause everybody has a poison heart

'Cause everybody has a poison heart
You know that life really takes its toll
I just want to walk right out of this world
A poison heart
A poison heart
I just want to walk right out of this world
A poison heart
So much confusion before my eyes
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
I just want to walk right out of this world
Making friends with a homeless torn up man
A poison heart, yeah

A poison heart
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
A poison heart
I just want to walk right out of this world
Well, I just want to walk right out of this world
He just kind of smiles, it really shakes me up
A poison heart
A poison heart
I just want to walk right out of this world

Lock you in a dream, never let you go
But nothing seems to phase me, and this one still survives
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
Never let you laugh or smile, not you

There's danger on every corner but I'm okay
'Cause everybody has a poison heart

And a poet's gut reaction is to search his very soul
A poison heart
Walking down the street, trying to forget yesterday
A poison heart
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
