Poison
Alice Cooper · Trash
Your blood like ice
One look could kill
My pain your thrill
I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, and I don't wanna break these chains
Your mouth so hot
Your web I'm caught
Your skin so wet
Black lace on sweat
I hear you calling and it's needles and pins (and pins)
I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don't wanna touch you, but you're under my skin (deep in)
I wanna kiss you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains
Poison
:Guitar solo:
One look could kill
My pain, your thrill
I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don't touch)
Just wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains
Poison (Yeah)
I wanna love you, I better not touch (don't touch)
I wanna hold you, my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much)
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
I don't wanna break these chains, poison (poison)
Burning deep inside my veins
Burning deep (poison) inside my veins
Poison, poison
I don't wanna break these chains
Yeah, poison
