Lyrics
Elderberry Wine and Cyanide
Copyright 2006
(verse)
I know a place where every day is Halloween
And I know the taste of arsenic and old lace
I'm having dreams where nothing is ever what it seems
And you'd better believe I'm on my way
(prechorus)
I am on my way
I am on my way
(chorus)
Take me down
To the Panama Canal and let me drown
In elderberry wine and cyanide
What's that sound
Is it the creak of a Brooklyn window seat coming down
Or the footsteps of the man when he's coming around
Oooh oooh he's coming around (repeated x2)
Oooh oooh won't you take me down
(verse)
I've seen her eyes; the eyes of an angel movie queen
Soft liquid eyes take me away when they meet mine
She's in my dream, but she's never quite what she seems
And you'd better believe I'm on my way
(prechorus)
I am on my way
I am on my way
(chorus)
Take me down
To the Panama Canal and let me drown
In elderberry wine and cyanide
What's that sound
Is it the creak of a Brooklyn window seat coming down
Or the footsteps of the man when he's coming around
Oooh oooh he's coming around (repeated x2)
Oooh oooh won't you take me down
(verse)
I charge the stairs that lead up into my room
Where I sit and stare - miles away from anywhere
You hear these lines as the words of man who's lost his mind
But you'll see in time I'm on my way
(prechorus)
I am on my way
I am on my way
(chorus)
Take me down
To the Panama Canal and let me drown
In elderberry wine and cyanide
What's that sound
Is it the creak of a Brooklyn window seat coming down
Or the footsteps of the man when he's coming around
Oooh oooh he's coming around (repeat x2)
Oooh oooh won't you take me down
