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!
