Poisoned Rose 歌詞
Poisoned Rose - Elvis Costello (埃爾維斯 科斯特洛)
Written by：Declan MacManus
The poisoned rose
That you gave to me
It left me half alive
Half in ecstasy
But if half of your love
Is all
I can win
Give me just a fraction
But no more medicine
The poisoned rose
On a Valentine card
That you take straight to the heart
You call my junkyard
But if all I can do
Is save pieces of you
The piece of your mind
The piece of your heart
Didn't tear me apart
Like the poisoned rose
I received from you
I don't know
How we came to grow
Into this very sad affair
Every time we do the decent thing
Somebody spikes the drink
And siggle become the page
The poisoned rose
That you wear at your best
That I keep pressed between the white sheets
Where you lie half undressed
I threw away my shirt and shoes
You looked and I dived in
It's just you and me now
'Cause I threw away the gin
I threw away your alibis
All your worn out clothes
I threw myself upon the floor
I couldn't throw away
This poisoned rose
This poisoned rose
This poisoned rose
