They Might Be Giants Darling, The Dose
Hamlet's dad, he got it bad
They sent him off stage right
Now we're here and stuck, my dear
No antidote in sight
Venom and nightshade and strychnine's done in some
Antifreeze and hives of bees, or just a gallon of rum
Make no mistake
I still need you the most
Time has the power
To bind us too close
The dose is the poison
We've had more than most
Darling
Darling
For three long years, we've walked alone
Walked underneath this cloud
So shake that rain outta your bad ear
And hear what I say out loud
Yushchеnko and Rasputin did not foresee their fate
Socratеs and Hercules figured out too late
Make no mistake
I still need you the most
Time has the power
To bind us too close
The dose is the poison
We've had more than most
Darling
Hearts are unbroken
And in the right place
Time's in reverse
'Til you fall out of step
The dose is the poison
In this pillowcase
Darling
Darling
