Until You Suffer Some (Fire and Ice)
Poison · Double Dose: Ultimate Hits [2011]
Lately I can tell that something ain't right
I don't see the fire when I look in your eyes
One time up, and the next time down
This may be the last time that you see me around, said
Well it sure seems to me nothing matters tonight
And all those things we worked out, they got lost in the fight
It's not enough, girl, that I gave you my soul
I just want to know if we've got anything left at all, and I say
Chorus:
Hold on now, baby.
This could be the last time we stand
This could be the last time that we say good-bye
The picture shatters
I can't find the words to save it
Tell me what to do, how can I make it right
We will always be fire and ice
Well promises made in the heat of the night
You could sure spit them out, girl, but they've long passed me by
Nobody knows about the show you put me through
This could be the last time that I get through to you
Chorus
Well I can't stand to see no more damage done
But you'll never understand until you suffer some, and I said....
Chorus
I don't see the fire when I look in your eyes
One time up, and the next time down
This may be the last time that you see me around, said
Well it sure seems to me nothing matters tonight
And all those things we worked out, they got lost in the fight
It's not enough, girl, that I gave you my soul
I just want to know if we've got anything left at all, and I say
Chorus:
Hold on now, baby.
This could be the last time we stand
This could be the last time that we say good-bye
The picture shatters
I can't find the words to save it
Tell me what to do, how can I make it right
We will always be fire and ice
Well promises made in the heat of the night
You could sure spit them out, girl, but they've long passed me by
Nobody knows about the show you put me through
This could be the last time that I get through to you
Chorus
Well I can't stand to see no more damage done
But you'll never understand until you suffer some, and I said....
Chorus
Until You Suffer Some (Fire and Ice)
Poison's "Until You Suffer Some (Fire and Ice)" stands as a defining track from their 2011 compilation, Double Dose: Ultimate Hits. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of hard rock and heavy metal, characterized by aggressive guitar riffs and a driving rhythm section. Released during a period where Poison continued to perform their classic sound alongside new material, the recording captures the high-energy atmosphere typical of their live shows. It serves as a testament to the group's ability to deliver powerful, anthemic rock music that resonates with fans of the genre, maintaining the intensity and melodic hooks that made them prominent in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
