Poison Pen |
«Dear John,» so begins the famous old story |
«Goodbye, au revoir, thanks for the memory» |
Keep it short and sweet if you really care |
D-I-vor-C-E can be so hurtful |
It makes public property of things that are personal |
All the friends and family get their share |
Ink is black, as black as night |
Black as thoughts that shun the light |
Truth will out and maybe then |
You’ll put down that poison pen |
That poison pen |
Everyone enjoys sharing a rumour |
But when it’s aimed at you it loses its humour |
Sometimes words so innocent cut so deep |
Ink is black, as black as night |
Black as thoughts that shun the light |
Truth will out and maybe then |
You’ll put down that poison pen |
That poison pen |
That poison pen |
Everybody’s telling me talk is cheap |
Sometimes words so innocent cut so deep |
Cut so deep |
They cut so deep |
So deep |
Ink is black (Ink is black) |
As black as night (As black as night) |
Black as thoughts (Black as thoughts) |
That shun the light (That shun the light) |
Ink is black, as black as night |
Black as thoughts that shun the light |
Truth will out and maybe then |
You’ll put down that poison pen |
Poison pen |
That poison pen |
That poison pen |
Poison pen |
Black as night (Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah) |
Just black as coal |
Black as thoughts (Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah) |
That cast a shadow right across my soul |
I thought that you were my friend |
'Til you picked up that poison pen |
That poison pen, yeah |
Poison |
