Oh hear them talking; their lives away
Never really finding that much to say
Theyâll look behind âcos that is so despised
Did you see it flashing in their eyes?
And theyâre all so kind, and theyâre all so cool
And the last thing they need is nobodyâs fool
I donât mean to butter no one up
Iâm sure you wouldnât have me do
I donât mean to laugh at youâre expense
But it chokes me too
And every word must have the truth
Iâm the man who works alone
But every kiss is truly said
Not a word too beyond
Thereâs only poison, only arsenic
Behind all you say and all you do
Ainât that something, oh me, oh my
Yeah a chance weâll find things
To get to you to touch your soul
But soon youâll find, all the treachery and lies
That starts bleeding âtill you dry
Youâll find true love, and give it up with good intent in mind
Youâll have your cake, and in it too Iâm sure youâll find
Thereâs nothing stopping you my friend, you walk the streets so fine
When it donât happen, you pretend, and I must decline
And every word must have the truth of the man of who walks alone
But every kiss is too excise
Not a word to the own
Thereâs only poison, only arsenic
Behind all you say and all you do
Thatâs really something, oh my, my, my
Only poison, only arsenic
Behind all you say and all you do
Thatâs really something, oh me, oh my
See it bleeding me dry
