No one ever thought this one would survive

Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind

Lock you in a dream, never let you go

Never let you laugh or smile, not you.



Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,

'Cause everybody has a poison heart

I just want to walk right out of this world,

'Cause everybody has a poison heart.



Making friends with a homeless torn up man

He just kind of smiles, it really shakes me up.

There's danger on every corner but I'm okay

Walking down the street trying to forget yesterday.



Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,

'Cause everybody has a poison heart.

I just want to walk right out of this world,

'Cause everybody has a poison heart,

a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart ... yeah!



You know that life really takes its toll

And a poet's gut reaction is to search his very soul

So much damn confusion before my eyes,

But nothing seems to phase me and this one still survives.



I just want to walk right out of this world,

'Cause everybody has a poison heart.

I just want to walk right out of this world,

'Cause everybody has a poison heart,



Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,

'Cause everybody has a poison heart.

a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart.

a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart.
