Steven Lutvak - Poison in My Pocket lyrics

ASQUITH JR: You and I go sailing by and no one will know where to find us. Unseen, unknown, and blissfully alone We're leaving the rif-raff behind us All afternoon in our sweet cocoon Our cares for the moments at bay Side by side who knows how far we'll glide Bid the world goodbye eagerly we'll fly Away MONTY: I am standing here with poison in my pocket Standing on this frozen little dock- It seems that I've just let them skate my opportunity away If I had the poise to put the poison In a pot of tea or else a shot of gin I would be back amid the noise of London by the end of day. But I am standing here with poison in my pocket One eye on the target, one eye on the clock- It better happen soon before I lose my nerve and run If i had a knife, I could have grabbed him And discreetly knocked him on the head and stabbed him Not to mention what I would have done IfI had had a gun Then again the thought occurred if I had truly taken stock It might have stopped me putting poison in my pocket What a fool to travel all this way and not think twice Murder's not a hobby for the cautious Thoughts of violence can make the timid nauseous... Unless of course the victim plunges head long through the ice It appears that I've been handed quite an opportune solution All that still remains is proper execution I had better join them on the lake before it gets too late! Suddenly there is no stumbling block It means that I won't need the poison in my pocket What a stroke of luck Sibella teased me 'till I learned to skate Asquith Jr. and Monty: Closer now time is racing- now time is racing on It's all a matter of pacing In a moment this moment will be gone Monty: With the rhythm of a violinist I am sawing where i think the ice is thinnest To create a hole through which the tragic lovers meet their doom One could call call this rather diabolic Is it strange to feel a wee bit melancholic? Like a twinge of some remorse Of course! A conscience I a**ume But no! As I'm cutting I am contemplating And the truth is it's a tad exhilarating Even though it's not inconceivable that I'll be caught! Still it comes as quite a shock it seems A novice standing here with poison in his pocket Can discover murdering is easier then he had thought Asquith Jr You and I go sailing by and no one will know where to find us. Unseen, unknown And blissfully alone were leaving the riff-raff behind us, all afternoon in our sweet Cocoon our cares for the moments at bay. Side by side who knows how far we'll glide Bid the world goodbye eagerly we'll fly away Bid the world goodbye eagerly we fly- (Asquith Jr. drowns) Monty: Away All of this is frankly easier than I had thought
