Testo: Mountain Goats, The. Alpha Negative.

The house was pretty and the yard was wide

And i felt strong, with you at my side.

Your eyes at night, had a beautiful glowing in them.

And i knew in my heart, just what was growing in them.



Ah, but you made me drink poison.

It felt smooth running down my throat.

I love you. and you made me drink poison.

It was cool and smooth and sweet.

Do you remember...



We had a bed of daisies thriving in the yard,

And i quit my job, so i could hold you all the time.

I tried to stop the thing matastasizing in us,

But in the warm, slow evening,

I could feel it rising in us.



Ah, and you made me drink poison.

It felt so smooth, sliding down my throat.

I love you so much. and you made me drink poison.

It was cool and smooth and sweet and cool

And smooth and sweet and cool and smooth.
