Poison Lyrics by Motörhead

Bomber

1979

[Intro]
Over the top

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
I've been doing poison (Poison)
I guess I poisoned my life
I've got my poison (Poison)
It's better than marrying my wife

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
I take my poison (Poison)
I guess I poisoned my life
I wish I was poisoned (Poison)
I wish I'd poisoned my wife

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 3]
He was poison (Poison)
I know he poisoned my life
Yeah, he was poison (Poison)
I wish my mother wasn't his wife, no

[Outro]
Poison
