Throwing poison seeds into the wind Make the poison tree to grow in me begin Let your branches fork my veins Let your honey tide in me Blood loving, poison whispering Oh, beautiful poison tree Let your power grow in me Let your sorrow pour in me Take away my blood and bones Make your flowers deep inside of me Least I'll still have company In my insides, tiny poison tree I seal my love in me Tiny beautiful poison tree Oh, beautiful poison tree Let your power grow in me Let your sorrows flow in me Turn me into a poison tree Turn me into a poison tree Make my shadow go away Make my branches strong and hard Make my leaves flower and spread Make me feel like something powerful Is growing deep inside of me Turn me into a poison tree

Living off the friends we made Never ever getting paid Kicking ass and paying dues Lose our mind in self abuse Loving ladies by the score Waking up and wanting more I hope my Mama understands When I strike up the band Well I spit out my anger as the sweat do fly Fifteen years of paying dues just to get me by Now the barkeeps would pay us by the crowds we bring But those son-of-bitches never paid us one damn thing And my poor Daddy, he just don't understand It's balls out tonight, watch the shit hit the fan When we strike up the band Now those drop dead ladies line the very first row I do believe I'd like to spend some time after the show Now them years gone by, the barkeeps pay in cash And them lovely ladies feed me an earful of trash And my old lady, she just don't understand Why those floozies got their hands on her man And my poor Daddy, he still don't understand Why it's balls out tonight watch the shit hit the fan Give it all that we can, we don't give a good damn When we strike up the band Living like a gypsy, An air conditioned hippie Who's never seen the light of day Rode dog and cowboy Don't know how, boy I ever lived this long this way, no, no, said And my poor Daddy, he still don't understand Why it's balls out tonight watch the shit hit the fan Give it all that we can, we don't give a good damn When we strike up the band

She's so distinct Yet unpredictable Like a witch who never sleep the night she's out to kill With a wink, a sudden look of love I try to block her out Contaminate, intoxicate until I'm gone To paralyze, hypnotize string me along You taste like poison You taste like poison I dread the day sorcery won't fail The spell that you got me on from just a taste Take, take a bow Take, take a bow Come and wrap me around all your little fingers now Take, take a bow Take, take a bow It's just a taste Contaminate, intoxicate until I'm gone She's so in sync Yet so out of control Like a snake that grabs ahold and never lets you go I'm growing weak And I can't breathe I try to cut you off (I try to cut you off) You taste like poison You taste like poison I dread the day sorcery won't fail The spell that you got me on from just a taste Take, take a bow Take, take a bow Come and wrap me around all your little fingers now Take, take a bow Take, take a bow It's just a taste No medicine can cure me No medicine can cure me No medicine can cure your poison, girl You taste like poison You taste like poison I dread the day sorcery won't fail The spell that you got me on Don't drink the poison Don't drink the poison If there's a cure for sorcery, so sweet The spell that you got me on is just a thing Take, take a bow Take, take a bow Come and wrap me around all your little fingers now Take, take a bow Take, take a bow It's just a taste Contaminate, intoxicate until I'm gone (yeah, yeah, yeah) To paralyze, hypnotize string me along
