Poisoned Rose

Song Poisoned Rose
Artist Elvis Costello
Album King of America

Lyrics

作词 : MacManus
The poisoned rose
That you gave to me
It left me half alive
And half in ecstasy
But if half of your love
Is all I can win
Give me just a fraction
But no more medicine
The poisoned rose
On a valentine card
That you take straight to the heart
That you call my junkyard
But if all
I can doIs save pieces of you
The piece of your mind
The piece of your heart
Didn't tear me apart
Like the poisoned rose
I received from you
I don't know
How we came to grow
Into this very sad affair
Everytime we do the decent thing
Somebody spikes the drink
And a single becomes a pair
The poisoned rose
That you wear at your best
That I keep pressed between the white sheets
Where you lie half undressed
I threw away my shirt and shoes
You looked and
I dived in
It's just you and me now'
Cause I threw away the gin
I threw away your alibis
And all your worn out clothes
I threw myself upon the floor
But I couldn't throw away
This poisoned rose, this poisoned rose
This poisoned rose
