Poison offers disguised in just your size [Refrain: Grohl, Jones, Homme] You won't make it out You won't make it out [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3: Josh Homme] You may think me altruistic Feel my dark hypnosis closing in [Refrain: Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones, Josh Homme] You won't make it out You won't make it out [Chorus: Josh Homme] Then you grow cold, cold, as a stare As if no, none could compare But you don't know how close, to ensnare When I control, you will despair [Refrain: Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones, Josh Homme] You won't make it out You won't make it out [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4: Josh Homme] Sycophancy, solipsistic Spider plays the fool to lure the fly [Refrain: Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones, Josh Homme] You won't make it out You won't make it out [Chorus: Josh Homme] Then you grow cold, cold, as a stare As if no, none could compare But you don't know how close, to ensnare When I control, you will despair
