Poppy Lyrics by Zee Avi

Zee Avi

2007

[Verse 1]
My baby, he don't act like himself no more
He lost that smile I used to adore
He spent his nights slapping his veins
He lost that glow he used to have in his face
Empty burned bottle on the carpet
My baby lying beside it
Tin foil and melted sugar everywhere
He said his provider was his pharmacist friend, Ben
I swear I'm gonna kill him because
I swear I'm gonna kill him because
Because
Because
[Chorus]
The poppy took my baby away from me
The poppy took my baby away from me
The poppy took my baby away from me
The poppy took my baby away from me
[Verse 2]
My baby used to repeat the news
And now he talks about dragons on the walls
He used to love German expressionism films
Now he drinks until he falls
I was confused, didn't know what to do
So, I called his mama have her come on over
She got him off the ground
Started slapping him around and as she cried, she said
She said, she said
[Chorus]
The poppy took my baby away from me
The poppy took my baby away from me
The poppy took my baby away from me
The poppy took my baby away from me
The poppy took my baby away from me
The poppy took my baby away from me
