  • Paintings they fall off the walls
    When you come in traipsing in with your horse
    Your six string guitar is a mess
    Silver bullets hanging off your dress
    Now I remember what I meant to be
    To replace your history
    Who let that girl into this room
    So innocent yet doomed

    [Chorus]
    Who shot the poison arrow
    Who shot the poison arrow
    Who shot the poison arrow
    Who shot the poison arrow

    Awh here she comes
    And she's playing hard to get
    Awh there she goes
    A promise you can never forget

    Mirrors, they black out and freeze
    When you pull me in too too deep
    Every time I handcuff you
    I know I come closer to the truth
    Now I remember what I meant to say
    To count all my blessings today
    Who let that girl into this room
    So innocent yet doomed

    [Chorus]

    Awh here she comes
    Yeah she's playing hard to get
    Awh there she goes
    A promise you can never forget Writer/s: KIM A GORDON, LEE M RANALDO, STEVEN SHELLEY, THURSTON JOSEPH MOORE
