No  one ever thought this  one would survive.
Helpless  child, gonna  walk a drum  beat behind.
Lock  you in a dream, never  let you go,
never  let you laugh  or smile,  not you.
  Well, I  just want to walk  right out  of this world,
  'cause everybody has  a poison heart.
  I  just want to walk  right out  of this world,
  'cause everybody has  a poison heart.
Making  friends with a homeless torn  up man,
he  just kind  of smiles, it really  shakes me up.
 There's danger  on every corner  but I'm  okay,
walking  down the street  trying to forget  yesterday.
  Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,
  'cause everybody has a poison heart.
  I just want to walk right out of this world,
  'cause everybody has a poison heart,
   a poison heart,  a poison heart,  a poison heart.
 You know that life really takes  its toll
 and a poet's  gut reaction  is to search  his very soul.
So  much damn confusion  before  my eyes,
 but nothing  seems to phase  me and this  one still survives.
  I just want to walk right out of this world,
  'cause everybody has a poison heart.
  I just want to walk right out of this world,
  'cause everybody has a poison heart,
  Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,
  'cause everybody has a poison heart.
   a poison heart,  a poison heart,  a poison heart.
  a poison heart,  a poison heart,  a poison heart.
