Poisoned

I saw stars Like the ones that grew over Buckner When I was young on the backroads With some older guy He'd listen to my music He'd never refuse it Tell me I'm beautiful Unlike any other guy Flashing cars Like the dreams that dissipate Once you see the illusion Reflections on the skyline In those loveless nights As a lonely, needy kid That's all I was A lonely, needy kid But He'd listen to my stories He'd give me all the glory Tell me I'm beautiful Unlike any other guy He'd tell me not to run But maybe I should walk I knew I lived close by Maybe just a few blocks I could last until then And try not to try I'll try not to try Back home I'd eat the whole fruit pie None left to simmer Sticky night, there goes dinner Egg drop left to spoil I was poisoned Falling out on my kitchen table Just to fall down in some new town I was poisoned, and I'll just try not to try I'll try not to try But He'd listen to my music He'd never refuse it Tell me I'm beautiful Unlike any other guy
