Poison Songtext
von Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows

People gazed, and people said
It looked so beautiful, when you two danced
Oh, it was magical, we all could tell
He really loves you, too, in his own way

Yes, that is right
All this is true
But it′s not magic
No, it's just the booze
Whisky brings out the love in him
A love that, when he′s sober
He cannot feel

I was all new to this spirits thing
I just did not know, 'cause I never used to drink
I wondered, how a bond that seemed so strong
When we were together be suddenly gone


Well, it's quite simple, nothing is real
It′s only the alcohol that he feels
I had to learn all this the hardest way
His love disappeared
Came the light of day

It′s quite confusing
And awfully cruel
You feel like an idiot
A goddamn fool
When the love that you feel for him
Was never the drugs
But in fact the real thing

Yes, it is sad
But sadly it's true
There is no magic
There is only booze
Whisky brings out his love for me
A love that, when he′s sober
He never feels
