The Sky Is A Poisonous Garden

Concrete Blonde

The stars above shine down below 
The fever you hold on this night 
Deathly cold 
I can feel from this side of the door 
I can feel Eleanor 

He said, sun don't rise
He said sun don't shine 
He said don't bring tomorrow 
To justify tonight 
The moon is full-the stars are bright 
And the sky is a poisonous garden 
Tonight. 

Sip your Tequila. 
Give me some time 
To unlearn all I've learned for the 

spring to unwind 
And then came your sweet mouth 
I began to move mine. 
They knew with the dawn
They knew with the day 
They knew what they had 
Would be young naked prey 
And attacked from all sides 
By a world filled with 
Poison and hate 

Eleanor trembles. 
Eleanor moans. 
Somehow, this body is someone 
She always has known 
She cries tears on his chest 
O so silent and slow- 

She said please don't go. 
Please don't go
And she cried and she died in his arms 
And he cried nevermore 
The moon is full, the stars are bright 
And the sky is a poisonous garden 
Tonight.
