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 ... yeah! 
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.
