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      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, yeah      You know that life really takes its toll   And a poet's gut reaction is to search his very soul   So much 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   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   A poison heart
