THE POISON CLUB - 2.34
Roberts/Lakeman

lyrics

Step inside, step inside you haven't lived until you've tried
The almond taste of cyanide, a little drop in wine.
Come in quick, come in quick if you're healthy, if you're sick.
Take a pinch of arsenic and you will feel fine

Welcome to the Poison Club
It's a place that anyone can go when they are feeling rough
Welcome to the Poison Club
Once you're a member you'll never have enough.

If you need some good advice, you're looking for a brand new vice
Come on in, don't think twice, try my poppy seed.
If you're down and feeling sad, trapped with someone awfully bad
Mercury will send them mad and you will be free.

If you wish to touch the sky, Hemlock will make you fly
Take too much and you will die and it won't come too soon.
If your eyes are dull and small, Belladonna cures it all
Lead will make you beautiful and pale as the moon.

So come on in, come on in, try the brandy, try the gin
Let the revelry begin, just a little more.
All that remains to be seen is if you'll try the nicotine
And turn a nasty shade of green and lay down on the floor.
