Lyrics Bring the Poison - O Captain! My Captain!

Bring the Poison

There were those nights when we sat in my car
Singing songs 'bout the death of the radiostar
Raindrops kept falling and gave us the blues
While our bodies were burning
I took off your balerina shoes
There were those bright lights that carried us home
Through the heart of this town where you’re never alone
Where you often find peace
And always a place at the bar
And we drink all the memories away
When the water is floating our lungs
We just have one last final breath
Close our eyes, fall asleep and we’ll never wake up again
There were those mornings we cursed the damn sun
Took the pills, closed our eyes and all feelings were gone
The beating of two hearts, the world in our hands
No surrender, baby…
This won’t be our very last dance
So now bring the poison and I’ll mix it up with the wine
And we drink all the memories away
When the water is floating our lungs
We just have one last final breath
Close our eyes, fall asleep and we’ll never wake up again
Come on baby, let’s shake all night long
Like we did in those hot summer nights
Like we did when we were young
-Trumpet-
Come on baby, let’s shake all night long
Like we did in those hot summer nights
Like we did when we were young
…when we were young…
…when we were oh so proud…
The heartbreakers of town
