Poison

I've got a house in the back of my head
but I can't find a permanent resident
'Cause the market is down
and the area is not too good these days

I've got watch but I don't have time
I've got a road that leads to decadence
But a dead end sign waits down the line
I leave my foot prints for the evidence

So take my life,
I'll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes,
but you can't fill these shoes
On a silver platter your wish came true
See a heart of gold turn platinum
You can take my life,
But you can't take it with you

More long days and fleeting nights
I tell them, "Wake me under flashing lights"
'Cause I'm a brand name bought and sold
They say a face for fame is a crying shame
Because you face the crowd to play that game
And I can play a little too rough
Now and again (every now and again)
You drank the poison, and I let you in

So take my life, I'll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes,
But you can't fill these shoes
On a silver platter your wish came true
See a heart of gold turn platinum
You can take my life,
But you can't take it with you

You drank the poison and I, I let you in
Would you trade that heart of gold
For a minute in my skin.
You drank the poison and I, I let you in
Would you trade that heart of gold
For a minute in my skin

So take my life, I'll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes,
But you can't fill these shoes
On a silver platter your wish came true
See a heart of gold turn platinum
You can take my life,
But you can't take it with you
