Motorhead - Poison lyrics

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!
