CLike Chaucer's
ECanterbury Tales
When Amthree men find a pot of gold
and end up Fkilling one another in the name of greed
CHORUS
CSome Epeople are AmpoisonF  
Under my skin like opium
And I'll stare in their eye to annoy them
Well they're poison, yeah they're poison
Admissions of liabilities
I'm living in my own private cold war
In a room full of spies and I cannot find the door
CHORUS
The violent aspects of a tattered man
Let me respond to that if I can
Illuminated Manuscripts written by hand
Accusations have been made form the very beginning
CHORUS
Yeah, you're fucking poisonC  B  A#  A
