CYANIDE
[Verse 1]
Oh she is poison and the strongest I could find
So cyanide, please stay out of my life
Those cryin' eyes are pesticides for love bugs of the mind
So cyanide, please stay out of my life, my love
Oh, cyanide, please stay out of my life
[Verse 2]
Oh she is noiseless, singing lullabies at night
So high and light and beautiful my life
Both hidin' eyes behind the blinds and blockin' out the light
So high and light and beautiful and anxious is the night
So high and light and beautiful, my life
[Chorus]
But the fence behind my house won't keep her out
Don't make no sense how she still comes around
She must have slipped something into my lips
When was it, maybe when we kissed
[Verse 3]
Oh, she is in my lungs and in my blood as well
I try to fight the feeling I might die
Ooh, dividing lines and taking sides and writing letters twice
I try to fight the feeling I might die, my life
I try to fight the feeling I might die
[Chorus]
But the fence behind my house won't keep her out
Don't make no sense how she still comes around
She must have slipped something into my lips
When was it, maybe when we kissed
[Bridge]
I can hear my heart beating loud
Blurry vision, time slowing down
I can feel the room spinning 'round
Hurry, victim, sink to the ground
Sink to the ground
[Chorus]
But the fence behind my house won't keep her out
Don't make no sense how she still comes around
She must have slipped something into my lips
When was it, maybe when we kissed
10 YEARS
[Verse 1]
I read in a magazine somewhere
Our body's cells regenerate
Every ten years like clockwork ticking
Ten years too late
If it's true, we're completely new people
Could we try again someday
When a new heart is thumping, kicking
Ten years too late
[Chorus]
Well it's you
That I need
Ten years is nothing
How hard can it be
Well it's you
That I need
Just give me something
Let your loving set me free
[Verse 2]
I was driving to work and on the radio
The singer sounded just like you
When you belt out the lyrics to a song that you loved
And I hated, and you knew it too
It made me think of the creek in the backyard
Where I ran away for a day or two
Not because you're like a creek or anything
I just really wanna run away with you
[Build]
My love is longer than the apple orchard
I planted for you
And stronger than the ox a-pulling
So apples surely grew
And taller than the highest tree
And deeper than its roots
And sturdy like the trunk a-swayin'
And sweeter than its fruit
And warm like summer rainfall
And farther than the moon
And beautiful like springtime
When the apple blossoms bloom
[Outro]
And I
Believe, believe, believe believe
And I
For me, for me, for me, for me, for me
REGARDING YOUR DEPARTURE
[Verse 1]
You left home for old L.A
Dyed your hair black
And you changed your name
There's a ghost of you in chains
From Halloween last year
In a pinewood picture frame
We sure do miss you an awful lot
I tried to write to you sooner
But I forgot
Have you found yourself out there
Do you ever miss us
Or your old hair
[Verse 2]
On the phone your voice it ached
Even when you laugh
It sounded fake
Oh the coast it gives and takes
Has it got you yet
Are you okay?
I sure have written an awful lot
My letters get so long
I'll try to stop
I guess sometimes life ain't fair
Just do your best love
You'll make it there
CRY IF YOU WANT TO
[Verse 1]
I don’t feel so bad for you
Kinda did it to yourself, didn’t you?
Kinda threw away my help, didn’t you?
Mmmmmm
I’m not even mad at you
It’s just after all the things that we’d been through
Kinda thought you’d have a lot more left to lose
[Chorus]
You can cry if you want to
Do u want to?
I can make you cry
[Verse 2]
Are you hurting like I was?
Can you feel the anger boiling your blood?
Can hear your own breath catching in your lungs?
Do your lips begin to quake?
Does the lump inside your throat begin to ache?
To think that you’re the ones whose heart you had to break
Mmmmmm
[Chorus]
You can cry if you want to
Do u want to?
I can make you cry
You can cry if you want to
Do u want to?
I can make you cry
You can cry if you want to
Do u want to?
I can make you cry
