Don't darken my door

You came on like a tall tale
but we all know how they stale
still you stole away the sun
and moon jumping the gun
Now I'm old as the hills
after swallowing your pills
bitter as the cruel curses
from sadistic nurses

       Don't darken my door
       I've told you before
       don't come 'round here no more
       don't darken my door (2x)

Don't write me no letters
all your words are like fetters
don't you call me on the phone
I'm picked clean as any bone
I will spell it out in braille
and strange tongues telling the tale
of how you cured me of my heart
just by tearing it apart
