Slow Poison Lyrics by The Bravery

Live at the Wiltern Theater

2009

[Verse 1]
Burn, burn house on fire
I'm so sick and tired
I can still remember your sound
It is cut, cut, cutting me down
I'm locked and loaded
You're so milk and roses
And I am just a lapdog, I'm your hound
It is cut, cut, cutting me down
[Chorus]
Like a slow poison
Cut me down like a slow poison
[Verse 2]
Sing me one more hymnal
I have found my angel
Oh, oh, oh, she walks upon the ground
It is cut, cut, cutting me down
I'm an empty can
I'm a stranger in a strange, strange land
Gone, gone, just gone without a sound
It is cut, cut, cutting me down
[Chorus]
Like slow poison
Cutting down like slow poison
[Bridge]
And all my dreams are only dreams
And all my schemes are only schemes
And if this is my punishment
Then I want my crime to fit
Burn, burn house on fire
I'm so sick and tired
I can still remember your sound
It is cut, cut, cutting me down
[Chorus]
Like slow poison
Cut down like slow poison
It's cutting me
Like slow poison
[Outro]
Sing me one more hymnal
I have found my angel
Oh, oh, oh, she walks upon the ground
It is cut, cut, cutting me down
