Motörhead - Poison lyrics

Over the top

People tell me, they think they know better
Give me sermons about the things I do
Come to love them, even wrote letters
You know I even answered a few 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 can get 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 again
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
