Chris Ayer — Pretty Poison Things lyrics

Lyrics

Adelle is waiting at the mall
for you pick her up the summer’s pointing at the fall
the galleria’s uncorrupted
The bluebell babies come and go like sandhills at the zoo
they woop and woo
when they look at you
A part-time day in that food court
is how I’ll live my life
I’d like to keep it short that way
and shining like a knife
some pass, some stay
behind the eyes
the one event…
of the pretty poison things she can’t forget
the pretty poison thing she loves
will keep her in the night
the pretty poison thing she loves
will stay just out of sight
and being chosen by the love
of another ain’t the same
as what she doesn’t have a name for
and hides away for
A part-time day in that food court
is how I’ll live my life
I’d like to keep it short that way
and shining like a knife
some pass, some stay
behind the eyes
the one event…
of the pretty poison things she can’t forget
Adelle is moving down route 7
along the median strip
big gulp at the seven eleven
loosens up the grip
you didn’t pick her up today
she’s not gonna call;
no need to speak at all
she’ll never speak at all
Another day of 'headed towards'
is how I’ll live my life
I’d like to keep it short that way
and shining like a knife
some pass, some stay
behind the eyes
the one event…
of the pretty poison things she can’t forget
a day in that food court
is how I’ll live my life
I’d like to keep it sweet that way
and shining like a knife
some pass, some stay
behind the eyes
the one event…
we can’t forget
the one event
I can’t forget
the one event
of the pretty poison things we can’t forget
