Laurie Anderson - Poison (instrumental mix) lyrics

It was one of those black cat night The moon had gone out and the air was thin It was the kind of night the cat would drag in I'll never forget it, we had a fight Then you turned around turned on the light. You left our bed Then you moved downstairs to live with her instead Yeah just one floor and a shout away I guess I should have moved but I decided to stay Did I drink some poison that I don't remember now? And every night I open all the windows I let a cold dark wind blow through I play loud organ music and I talk to myself and dream of you Uh oh! I hear voices coming up through the pipes Through all the springs in my bed and up through the lights The volume goes up then it drops back down I can hear the two of you playing records Moving furniture and fooling around Did I drink some poison that I don't remember now? Is there blood on my hands? No, my hands are clean Did I do something in another lifetime That was really really mean? Yeah I'm hearing voices Am I losing my mind? Think I'm going crazy, I gotta get out I run into the street and start to shout Get out of my way! Get out! Get out! Did I drink some poison that I don't remember now? Is there blood on my hands? Did I do something in another lifetime That was really really mean? A small bullet, a piece of gla** And your heart just grows around it
