Eddie Clarke - Poison lyrics

Over the top People tell me you didn't know better Give me sermons about the things I do Come to love them, 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 got my poison It's better than marrying my wife On the road, the pace is getting frantic Especially when you're poisoned Out your mind A flight of stairs is like Swimming the Atlantic When you're poisoned and Deaf, dumb and blind, I said I take my poison, poison I guess I poisoned my life I wish I was poisoned, 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 I'll make him wish he'd never been born Because He was poison, poison I know he poisoned my life Yeah, he was poison, poison I wish my mother wasn't his wife, no Poison
