The Great Man's Secrets

My lifetime's habits will remain

this crush of hearts won't go away

tonight, one way, once and for all

good times aren't possible today

I took a little poison

I took it carefully

it built for me

a house on fire

this poison takes after me

This poison came too far to fail

desire unwinds in the last hour

within, the bed is overturned

my host, the antidote is sour

I took a little poison ...

Now put me down upon the lawn

right here - next to my favourite tree

I'm being foolish - can't you tell!

they all look just the same to me

I took a little poison ...
