Motorhead Poison Lyrics

Over the top

People tell me you didn't know better,
Give me sermons 'bout the things that I do,
Couple of 'em even wrote letters,
You know I even answered a few, I said,
I've been doing poison,
I guess I poisoned my life,
I know about poison,
It's better than marrying a wife, oh

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 and deaf, dumb and blind, I say I take my poison,
I guess I poisoned my life,
I wish I was poison,
I wish I had 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 because,
He was poison,
I know he poisoned my life
He was poison,
I wish my mother wasn't his wife, no!
Poison
