Poison Pen lyrics

Artist  : Hoodoo Gurus 
Song : Poison Pen



 Send "Poison Pen" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Dear John, so begins a famous old story

Goodbye,au-revoir, thanks for the memory

Keep it short and sweet if you really care



D I vor C E can be so hurtful

It makes public property of things that are
personal

All the friends and family get their share



Ink is black, as black as night

Black as thoughts that shun the light

Truth will out and maybe then

You'll put down that poison pen, that poison
pen



Everyone enjoys sharing a rumor

But when it's aimed at you it loses its humor

Sometimes words so innocent, cut so deep



Ink is black, as black as night

Black as thoughts that shun the light

Truth will out and maybe then

You'll put down that poison pen, that poison pen,
that poison pen



Everybody's telling me, "Talk is cheap"

Sometimes words so innocent, cut so deep

Cut so deep, they cut so deep, so deep



Ink is black, as black as night

Black as thoughts that shun the light

Ink is black, as black as night

Black as thoughts that shun the light

Truth will out and maybe then

You'll put down that poison pen, poison pen

That poison pen, that poison pen, poison pen



Black as night, as black as coal

Black as thoughts that cast a shadow

Right across my soul

I thought that you were my friend

Until you picked up that poison pen, that poison
pen, yeah, poison
