Poison Was the Cure Songtext
von Megadeth

I miss the warm embrace I felt first time you touched me
Secure and safe in open arms, I should have known you′d crush me
A snake you were when we met, I loved you anyway
Pulling out your poisonous fangs, the venom never goes away

Serpent swims free in my blood, dragons sleeping in my veins
Jackyl speaking with my tongue, roach egg laying in my brain


Once stalked beneath your shadow
Sleepwalking to the gallows
I'm the sun that beats your brow in
′Til I finally threw the towel in

Never knowing if I'd wake up in a whirlpool, got redundant
My brain was just some driftwood in a cesspool, I became dead
From a rockstar to a desk fool was my destiny, someone said
Love's a tide pool, taste the water, life′s abundant

Taste me!
