Poison

Lyrics

[Intro] Over the top [Verse 1] People tell me, they think they know better Give me sermons about the things I do Come to love them, even wrote letters You know I even answered a few I said [Chorus 1] I've been doing poison (Poison) I guess I poisoned my life I've got my poison (Poison) It's better than marrying my wife [Verse 2] On the road, the pace can get frantic Especially when you're poisoned out your mind A flight of stairs is like swimming the Atlantic When you're poisoned and deaf, dumb and blind, I said [Chorus 2] I take my poison (Poison) I guess I poisoned my life I wish I was poisoned (Poison) I wish I'd poisoned my wife [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] My father, he used to be a preacher Never taught me nothing but scorn If I ever catch him on the street again I'll make him wish he'd never been born Because [Chorus 3] He was poison (Poison) I know he poisoned my life Yeah, he was poison (Poison) I wish my mother wasn't his wife, no [Outro] Poison
