Poison

People tell me you didn't know better, Give me sermons 'bout the things I do, Come to love 'em, even wrote letters, You know I even asked it of you, I said, I've been doing Poison, I guess I poisoned my life, I've been doing Poison, it's better than marrying your wife On the road, the pace is getting frantic, Specially when you poisoned out your mind, A flight of stairs is like swimming the Atlantic, When you're poisoned, deaf, dumb and blind, I take my poison, I guess I poisoned my life, Been doing Poison, I wish I'd poisoned my wife My Father, he used to be a Preacher, Never taught me nothing but scorn, If I ever catch him on the street, yeah, I'll make him wish he'd never been born, He was Poison, Guess he poisoned my life He was Poison, I wish my mother wasn't his wife, no!
