Lyrics for Poisoned Rose by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Poisoned Rose | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 96 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 do
is 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
