Sun Kil Moon - Red Poison lyrics

Walking down Green on my way Chinatown Our flight was coming, soon to touch down Went to pick up some china I'd chosen The man said to me, "But these are red poison" I took a step back, "But they're so beautiful You use them and you'll fall like a mule So what's the price?" he shot me a scowl But wrapped them and sold them to me anyhow The table is set, it's just the right tool A slow painful d**h for the unknown fool For her I await with thick bloody steaks Served on decadent red china plates I picked up some more and I keep them around Keep my ear close to the ground Waiting for others get rid of them slow Watch their skin turn, watch their eyes doze
