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!
