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 (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
