Don't Drink Poison Lyrics
We learned this lesson five times fine:
Fake left, go right, back-stabs read minds!
Taillights shine beautiful
They make halos on the road.
Don't give our keys to the city to
Shark-suits, B-sides, free-things-please!
I left the code at the coat-check
Pointed to the word on my neck
That's me, all night on stand-by
Three words, three things, oh please please!
Don't, don't drink poison . . .
Wolf Girl, poolside, I'm in the lobby
Gay concierge-spy high fives me
It's all cool, enemy-style
Smile at the TV while you download her file
Watch for the quick slip, money shot, vid clip
Walk by slowly, pass me the nurse kit
Don't be fooled by the sister vocab
Keep it light, put it on her tab
Heads up for this tonight
It's someone you'll recognize
Looks like lips and feels like teeth
Always waving to the people from the magazine
There's one thing they love to see
It's tear jerks for charity
And blank smirks all the way to the airport
There's one drink, on ice, oh I think it's
Don't, don't drink poison . . .
They say trouble comes in threes
I say, Chicken Caesar grows on trees
It could be lucky to be out of luck, I guess
Better than to take the test where
Amnesiacs must write on napkins
Prepare for what might happen
In a trance from polished talk we think
Throat-coat, lemon-lime, hot choc, oh!
Don't, don't drink poison . . .
Wolf Girl, poolside, I'm in the lobby
Fem Exec is right behind me
Almost there, through the glass doors
Against the wall, on the third floor
We found a robot hand
Hidden in a potted plant
And we're not too nice to notice
When white wine stinks and we're misquoted
Please. . . oh please, please. . . Don't drink poison
Fake left, go right, back-stabs read minds!
Taillights shine beautiful
They make halos on the road.
Don't give our keys to the city to
Shark-suits, B-sides, free-things-please!
Pointed to the word on my neck
That's me, all night on stand-by
Three words, three things, oh please please!
Gay concierge-spy high fives me
It's all cool, enemy-style
Smile at the TV while you download her file
Walk by slowly, pass me the nurse kit
Don't be fooled by the sister vocab
Keep it light, put it on her tab
It's someone you'll recognize
Looks like lips and feels like teeth
Always waving to the people from the magazine
It's tear jerks for charity
And blank smirks all the way to the airport
There's one drink, on ice, oh I think it's
I say, Chicken Caesar grows on trees
It could be lucky to be out of luck, I guess
Amnesiacs must write on napkins
Prepare for what might happen
In a trance from polished talk we think
Throat-coat, lemon-lime, hot choc, oh!
Fem Exec is right behind me
Almost there, through the glass doors
Against the wall, on the third floor
Hidden in a potted plant
And we're not too nice to notice
When white wine stinks and we're misquoted

ur bro and ur sis is cool. i want a bro/sis like that! anyway, what does 'don't drink poison' mean anyway, is that like not buying into the fakeness and corruption of stuff like big companies or the media? that's my guess...
i like this song lots. my 5 y/o brother goes around screaming "don't, don't drink poison!" whenever he listens to this song, he says it's his favorite
haha yeah my sister always sings out of nowhere "Don't, don't drink poison." she's kinda into Le Tigre too.
it's such good advice
Does anyone know what the whole "chicken ceasar grows on trees" line is all about?
I thought that chicken caesar thing was REALLY weird. I don't understand.
It almost seems like a spy fantasy type thing... I have no clue.
"They say trouble comes in threes I say, Chicken Caesar grows on trees"
Personally, I think that these two lines are supposed to go together. The chicken ceasar line seems like nonsense because it is; the artist is refuting the age-old adage that "trouble comes in threes".
They say trouble comes in threes I say, Chicken Caesar grows on trees
maybe they put the chicken caeser part in to kind of say that "trouble comes in threes" is nonsense.
or maybe it just rhymes haha.
I think this song is supposed to be about self-preservation and how it's almost like, a spy mission. Goes along with the whole motiff of New York and whatnot.

This is just pure speculation but I think it's about Angeline Jolie. She's known for her lips and her toothy smile. She's all over PEOPLE MAGAZINE and is always jet setting to do charity work in other via AIRPLANE.
The "lips" reference is also heard on "VIZ", about almost "fake lesbians". Angelina is like pseudo-bisexual, almost like she's playing a card or something. But she is mostly marketed to men.
Great actress though.
