Lyrics

PICK YOUR POISON

V.1
You found Goldilocks in your lair
She told the paper she slept with a bear
You can't buy that kinda PR
A crazy girl with a gun

V.2
Hide your heart where
the sun don't shine
Like it's summer and you got time
Mister, cold winds are comin' Crazy don't keep you warm

Chorus 1
Hey, step up and
Pick Your Poison, spy vs. spy
Hey, a close call with a femme fatale
And you're free to fly

V.3
You're a sucker for the make-believe
Till you see the monster up her sleeve
Funny, you feel naked
Even with all of your clothes on

V.4
Ah, you slip into your grizzly skin
She can try but she can't reach in
That's about when Goldilocks goes postal

Chorus 2
Hey, step up and
Pick Your Poison, time to testify
Hey, hey, it takes two to pull the trigger,
Bullets don't lie

Bridge
You've played the wounded sweetheart
Let's not sugar-coat it
All along you knew the gun was loaded

(Solo)

V.5
Ah, you're hangin' up you Colt 45
And your cloak and dagger life
Still, you're ringin' your last gunslinger on speed-dial

Chorus 3
Hey, hey, hey, step up and
Pick Your Poison, you got the hell outta Dodge
Hey, how far across the desert
To your next mirage?
Ah, your next mirage
