Ramones - Poison Heart Lyrics

Well no one ever thought this one would survive
Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind
I lock you in a dream and never let you go
I 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
A poison heart

  This is my 52d favorite song of all time; I think it has a lot to say about the attitude you need to keep going. BTW, the fifth word in the last line of the last verse should be "faze" not "phase"
