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 your 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!
