Coffee Homeground lyrics

Down in the cellar

You're getting into making poison

You slipped some on the side

Into my glass of wine

And I don't want any coffee - homeground

Offer me a chocolate

No thank you, spoil my diet, know your game!

But tell me just how come

They smell of bitter almonds?

It's a no-no to your coffee - homeground

Pictures of Crippen, lipstick-smeared

Torn wallpaper

Have the walls got ears here?

You won't get me with your Belladonna - in the coffee

And you won't get me with your arsenic - in the pot of tea

And you won't get me in a hole to rot

With your hemlock on the rocks

Where are the plumbers

Who went a-missing here on Monday?

There was a tall man

With his companion

And I bet you gave them coffee - homeground

Maybe you are lonely

And only want a little company

But keep your recipes for the rats to eat

And may they rest in peace with coffee - homeground

Pictures of Crippen, lipstick-smeared

Torn wallpaper

Have the walls got ears here?

You won't get me with your Belladonna - in the coffee

And you won't get me with your arsenic - in the pot of tea

And you won't put me in a six-foot plot

With your hemlock on the rocks

With your hemlock on the rocks

"Noch ein Glas, mein Liebchen?"

Oh with your hemlock on the rocks

With your hemlock on the rocks

"Es schmeckt wunderbahr,"

With your hemlock on the rocks

"Und stärk' dich wohl!"
