Curtis Eller - Poison Melody Lyrics

Everybody knows
All about my heart
Where it ends and where it starts
They know all about my heart

There's that song again
Playing just for me
A poison melody
A silver drop of mercury

Like a Berlin ballad
Familiar to my ear
But there's a shadow in the harmony
Confusion and fear

And that sweet refrain
Sweet sugar cane
Is only a poison melody
Playing just for me

Every decent song
Has already been sung
They push your heart around
Like they did when you were young

And that sweet refrain
A ball and chain
Waiting in the chorus for me
Can't you see

That sweet refrain
Sweet sugar cane
Is only a poison melody
Playing just for me
