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.
