[Verse 1: John Cale]
I can't be your hero, don't wanna be your fool
Always sympathetic, playing by your rules

[Refrain: John Cale & Tei Shi]
I know you're happy when, I know you're happy when, I'm sad
I know you're happy when, I know you're happy when, I'm sad

[Pre-Chorus: John Cale]
Always

[Chorus: John Cale & Tei Shi]
Will your poison save me?
Will it burn me out?
Will our hearts be transplanted?
Will you show me how?

[Verse 2: John Cale]
Congratulations, I know you're satisfied
You've been discovered, since you were on my mind
Always, always
Playing by your rules

[Refrain: John Cale & Tei Shi]
I know you're happy when, I know you're happy when, I'm sad
I know you're happy when, I know you're happy when, I'm sad
[Bridge: John Cale, Tei Shi]
Can you save me? (Save me)
Save me (Save me)
Save me (Save me)

[Chorus: John Cale & Tei Shi]
Will your poison save me?
Will it burn me out?
Will our hearts be transplanted
Will you show me how?
Will your poison save me?
Will it burn me out?
Will our hearts be transplanted
Will you show me how?

[Outro: Tei Shi]
Will you show me how?
Will you show me how?
