Poison Arrow Lyrics

	


If I were to say to you
"Can you keep a secret?"
Would you know just what to do
Or where to keep it?
Then I say "I love you,"
And the foul situation
"Hey girl, I thought we were
The right combination."

Who broke my heart?
You did, you did
Bow to the target,
Blame Cupid, Cupid
You think you're smart
Stupid, Stupid

CHORUS:
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow
Shoot that poison arrow to my heart
Shoot that poison arrow

No rhythm in cymbals
No tempo in drums
Love on arrival
She comes when she comes
Right on the target
But wide of the mark
What I thought was fire
Was only the spark

The sweetest melody is an unheard refrain
So lower your sights
Yeah but raise your aim
Raise you aim

Who broke my heart?
You did, you did
Bow to the target,
Blame Cupid, Cupid
You think you're smart
Stupid, Stupid.

CHORUS

"I thought you loved me but it seems you don't care."
"I care enough to know I can never love you."

Who broke my heart?
You did, you did
Bow to the target
Blame Cupid
You think you're smart
That's stupid
Right from the start
When you knew we would part

CHORUS

Shoot that poison arrow

Love this band when they first appeared on the music scene (at least in the U.S.). Love this track...the entire album it's off from actually. Apparently a song about love not returned, which is sad...but I still love this track due to its flow/beat and everything else I am unable to describe musically :)

This seems to be a very straightforward song. A man has confessed his love for a girl but is rejected a cruel way. He then proceeds to use a poison arrow as an analogy for how she broke his heart.
