Megadeth - Poison Was The Cure lyrics

First time you touched me

Secure and safe in open arms

I should have known you'd crush me

A snake you were when we met

I loved you anyway

Pulling out your poisoned fangs

The venom never goes away

Serpent swims free in my blood

Dragons sleeping in my veins

Jackyl speaking with tongue

Roach egg laying in my brain

Once stalked beneath your shadow

Sleepwalking to the gallows

I'm the sun that beats your brow in

Til I finally threw the towel in

Never knowing if I'd wake up in a

Whirlpool got redundant

My brain was just some driftwood

In a cesspool I became dead

From a rock star to a desk fool

Was my destiny someone said

Loves a tidepool

Taste the waters life's abundant

Taste me
