lyrics

*Robot voice* P O I S O N … Poison

[Verse 1]
They were a wildcard
Blue eyes and hair gel
Red flags were waving
But your mind was racing

Baby, they only call you when
They’re drunk
You were blinded by the city lights
Shining in their city eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Next time you see them
Those blue eyes will look like stones
Last time you saw them
Oh you should have known

[Chorus]
The taste of poison, cyanide on their lips
Intoxicate you with their charm and kill you with their kiss
Toxic, makes your heart forget to beat
Venom has never tasted so sweet
So sweet

[Verse 2]
When they said next time
You should have said goodbye
I highly doubt
The third time will be the charm

[Pre-Chorus]
Your heart is prone to
Falling fast, falling soon
You wanted the night sky
But they barely gave you the moon

[Chorus]
The taste of poison, cyanide on their lips
Intoxicate you with their charm and kill you with their kiss
Toxic, makes your heart forget to beat
Venom has never tasted so sweet
So sweet

[Bridge]
Cyanide on their lips
Arsenic fingertips
Venom in their veins
But they speak so sweet and look the same

Cyanide on their lips
Arsenic fingertips
Venom in their veins
But they speak so sweet and look the same

[Chorus/Outro]
The taste of poison, cyanide on their lips
Intoxicate you with their charm and kill you with their kiss
Toxic, makes your heart forget to beat
Venom has never tasted so

Poison, cyanide on their lips
Intoxicate you with their charm and kill you with their kiss
Toxic, makes your heart forget to beat
Venom has never tasted so sweet
So sweet
