For no one ever thought this one would survive

Helpless child, doing a walk to drum beat behind

I locked you in a dream, I never let you goI 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 their 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

A poison heart
