[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
