Poison Apple Songtext
von Coretta Scott

I′m so on top
You look in control
I've conquered mountains
With strides a girl
I never fear, I never sin
The worst of you is the best in them
Did you ever judge or ever speak in vain?
Only the steps I took were in the Lord′s name
Never was about what's right or wrong
Never was about, never was about

This is all a lie
Cigarettes and coffee couldn't hide
I need something stronger
I see it in your face
Poison apple in my fairy tale
Take me away
The kiss needed
To drug me from sleep


(Drug me from sleep)
Self-medicate to try and match the feeling
(Drug me from sleep)
Anything to feel as beautiful
(Drug me from sleep)
Means justified by the reason
(Drug me from sleep)
Love more, less or I′m loved
And start to let go

These are the words daddy couldn′t understand at all
"My son's no faggot"
Meeting with boys in our miserable places
Who will carry on this family name
What will the neighbors think?

The drugs don′t work
But neither do we
Keep shuffling the problems
Just changes the order

These are the words momma couldn't understand at all
"My daughter′s no slut"
Starting at the party as a sure-fire bet
Once that keg blows, boys come calling
Don't you feel so beautiful?

The drugs don′t work
But neither do we
Keep shuffling the problems
Just changes the order


(Drug me from sleep)
Self-medicate to try and match the feeling
(Drug me from sleep)
Anything to feel as beautiful
(Drug me from sleep)
Means justified by the reason
(Drug me from sleep)
Love more, less or I'm loved
And start to let go

Self-medicate to try and match the feeling
Anything to feel as beautiful
Means justified by the reason
Love more, less or I'm loved
And start to let go
