Poisoning Claude Songtext
von Beirut

When you jumped into the lake
I thought I′d made a mistake
In letting you go
But the whole pacific ocean couldn't drown you
And a thousand men couldn′t tame you
And a thousand milligrams of morphine
Wouldn't kill you

You'd have wished
You never left your room
Knowing damn well you′d fall so soon
For a game of kiss and tell
You′d have wished
You never left your room
Knowing damn well you'd fall so soon
For a game of kiss and tell
I had to applaud your gumption


And when you chopped off your thumb
But I could not bring myself to applaud
The time you poisoned Claude
With a dash of this and a dash of that
His head went purple and that was that
My feet are sore I fear I′m just a bore
There are things we'd rather ignore
And things to die for
My feet are sore I fear I′m just a bore
There are things we'd rather ignore
And things to die for
And things to die for

You never left your room
Knowing damn well you′d fall so soon
For a game of kiss and tell
You'd have wished
You never left your room
Knowing damn well you'd fall so soon
For a game of kiss and tell
