Poison blues

1. People tell me you don'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've been doing poison,
I guees I poisoned my mind.
I've been doing poison,
It's better than blowing your fife.

2. On the road the pace is getting frantic
Specially when your poisoned out your mind.
A fight of stairs is like swimming the Atlantic.
When you're poisoned, deaf, dumb and blind.
I take my poison,
I guees I poisoned my mind.
I've been doing poison,
It's just goin' on to grow rife.

3. 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,
Guees he poisoned my life.
He was poison,
I wish my mother wasn't his wife, no!
