Poison lyrics

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 (Poison)

I guess I poisoned my life

I've got my poison (Poison)

It's better than marrying my wife

On the road, the pace is getting frantic

Especially when you're 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 (Poison)

I guess I poisoned my life

I wish I was poisoned (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, because

He was poison (Poison)

I know he poisoned my life

Yeah, he was poison (Poison)

I wish my own mother wasn't his wife, no

Poison
