0:13I saw her, yea I saw her
0:15With her black tongue tied round the roses
0:19♪
0:19A fist pounding on a vending machine
0:22Toy diamond ring stuck on her finger
0:26With a noose she can hang from the sun
0:29And put it out with her dark sunglasses
0:32Walking crooked down the beach
0:35She spits on the sand
0:36Where their bones are bleaching
0:39♪
0:39And I know I'm gonna steal her life
0:43She doesn't even know what's wrong
0:46And I know I'm gonna make her die
0:49Take her where her soul belongs
0:53And I know I'm gonna steal her life
0:56Nothing that I wouldn't try
0:57♪
0:57Hey, my cyanide girl
1:02Hey, my cyanide girl
1:09My my cyanide girl
1:12Hey, my cyanide girl
1:17♪
1:17I saw her, yea I saw her
1:20With her hands tied back
1:22Rags a' burnin'
1:23Calling out from a landfilled life
1:26Scrawlin' her name upon the ceiling
1:30Throw a coin in a fountain of dust
1:33White noise, her ears are ringing
1:36Got a ticket for my midnight hanging
1:40Throw a bullet from a freight train leaving
1:43♪
1:44And I know I'm gonna steal her life
1:47She doesn't even know what's wrong
1:50And I know I'm gonna make her die
1:54Take her where her soul belongs
1:57And I know I'm gonna steal her life
2:00Nothing that I wouldn't try
2:01♪
2:02Hey, my cyanide girl
