lyrics

Pale green or pale yellow
It’s all the same to me
It’s all the color of the foulest jealousy
It’s all the color of my own complexity
It’s all the power of yearning
The payback I’ve been earning

If I was in your shoes
Drinking your chartreuse
French brandy at your lips
A deadly Widow’s Kiss
Poison on your tongue
Setting like your sun
I’d remember what I said
I’d rather you were dead

Arsenic and lace
The cloak and dagger mine
Surviving is the only solace that I find
The hemlock and the hemp rope
And the bitter herb
I only give you justice
Please remember just this

If I was in your shoes
Drinking your chartreuse
French brandy at your lips
A deadly Widow’s Kiss
Poison on your tongue
Setting like your sun
I’d remember what I said
I’d rather you were dead
