lyrics

A little arsenic coats the throat
a little leaven spoils the loaf
a little always leads to a little more
a little always needs a stronger dose.

Whatever helps you sleep at night

A little glimpse takes off her dress
a little anger and it spreads
and it spreads and it spreads
a little spark could burn this city down
a little rudder could turn this ship around.

Whatever helps you sleep at night
you'll need twice as much by the second time.
Whatever helps you sleep at night
you'll need twice as much by the second time.

At first it helped your skin shine
now it's eating at your insides.

Whatever helps you sleep at night
you'll need twice as much by the second time.
