Tea and Corpses

© 1993 Neil Gaiman

You told me you would love me dear, forever
You said that you would always stay with me
And we would always be as one together
So why'd you put that poison in my tea?

I told you you would always be my man, dear
I told you I would never ever stray
And you know that I'm just your biggest fan, dear
So why'd you have to spoil a good Earl Grey?

And it's ooh, ah, ooh, I'm dying
And it's ooh, ah, ooh, I'm nearly dead
I wonder what could make a love like ours turn sour
I guess it must be something that I said

Darling, you may think that we are parted and you're free
But I know that we'll meet again in hell
You think you got the last word in by poisoning my tea
But the joke's on you, 'cause I poisoned yours as well

And it's ooh, ah, ooh, I'm dying
And it's ooh, ah, ooh, I'm nearly dead
I wonder what could make a love like ours turn sour
I guess it must be something that I said
