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 been doing poison (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 (Poison),
I guess I poisoned my life.
Been doing poison (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 (Poison),
Guess he poisoned my life.
He was poison (Poison),
I wish my mother wasn't his wife, no!
