"Poison" lyrics

"Poison"

Why did you change your name?
In the search for fame
Now all the lights are gone
What did you poison, what did you poison?
What is in a name?
Now all the lights are gone
Oh, you feel the shame
What did you poison, what did you poison?

There is no cure for fame
Now you feel the shame
It'll never be the same
What did you poison, what did you poison?
You know you'll never survive
Although you're inside
You got no friends tonight
Except your poison, except your poison

You took the highest bright
That must've priced right
But if you're all alone
Take your poison, take your poison
Why did you change your name?
In the search for fame
Now all the lights are gone
Why did you poison, why did you poison?
Why did you poison?
Why did you poison?
Why did you poison?
Why did you poison, why did you poison?
Why did you poison?
Why did you poison?
Now all the lights are gone!
Reach for your poison, reach for your poison
