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 I know he has poisoned my life He was poison I wish my mother wasn't his wife, no! Poison
