Poppy - Zee Avi

My baby he don’t act like himself no more

He lost that smile I used to adore

He spent his nights slapping his veins

He lost that glow he used to have in his face

Empty burned bottle on the carpet

My baby lying beside it

Tin foil and melted sugar everywhere

He said his provider was his

Pharmacist friend Ben

I swear I’m gonna kill him because

I swear I’m gonna kill him because

Because

The poppy took my baby away from me

My baby used to repeat the news

And now he talks about dragons on the walls

He used to love German expressionism films

Now he drinks until he falls

I was confused

Didn’t know what to do

So I called his mama

Have her come on over

She got him off the ground

Started slapping him around

And as she cried she said

The poppy took my baby away from me
