Come taste a century of hatred
Free from the sanity of them
Is there something, that you see in all of them
Non-believer, a time will come, but when?
All you worship in life, destroyed by human hands,
Spare the trouble you feel, save a breath for your next
Spit on the laws that I made for you
Betray the treasures within hearts
Is there something in death that you think reflects your life?
Come taste the loss that I feel, challenge paradise
All you worship in life, destroyed by human hands,
Save the trouble you feel, a treasure with no price
Kool G Rap and Polo
Back again
What?
This is poison so be alert and cautious
Those who act courageous you will get nauseous
Infected or contaminated
Turn on your stereo never come radio-activated
Deadly and fatal, poison the title
My recital hits the parts that are vital
So tune in the tone of beats and poems
Polo's headphones becomes a skull and crossbones
Pull out your Q-tips, clean out the earwax
If you're still hard of hearing, I'mma scrub them with Ajax
With maximum drum so behave and remember
You're a slave to my sound wave
Faster rhymes I mastermind I have to find
A new method time after time
Write a rhyme quick when I pull out my Bic pen
Stick to an idea, the soundproof slick then
Put it on paper cause I make you hyper
Than any other rapper cause I keep my rapping riper
Like cherries or some say berries
Mandatory for the auditory and its glory
Here's the story: rappers getting leery to hear me
G speaks in a new technique of fury
Domination of drums and noise and
Yo yo yo Polo yo this is poison
Poison! (x3)
Look-alikes on the mic you should get off
You're a rip-off, I'mma rip up, get rid of, cause you bit off
Bite off ate off imitate off
They get paid off for G Rap to get laid off
Get up and sit up the butterer and buttercup
Male or female shut them up, Po shut her up
Shut the hell up, man>
Yeah hide my line as you pick them up
Rob me blind of my rhymes you might as well have said stick them up
Letters of metaphor matters to better the fatter your pocket
Rhymes blast off like rockets
Rhymes will be replaced and beats erased
In case a rapper tries to trace hardcore bass
Made in a minute the sky is the limit
For reaching the goal and the dream wouldn't you want to be in it to win
it?
Biters are wanted like animals hunted
Soon as I get them I hit them I done it to the suckers who fronted
The rappers who made it and did it
Forget about winning the battle cause I'mma shake rattle and roll
A little something for girls and boys and
Yo yo Polo my man yo this is poison
Read the label sucker
P-O-I-S-O-N
Yeah poison
Poison! (x3)
Check it out>
A mind designed to find a rhyme that's right on time
One step beyond and not behind the line
That separates dogs from divine
Take it as a caution, or a warning sign
Whether antonyms, words I'm blending them
Homonyms, synonyms, good like M&M;'s
With Polo and while he's slicing
I'll turn the mike's last name into Tyson
My brain is like a factory constantly creating
Material stitch by stitch for decoration
Lyrics are fabrics, beat is the lining
My passion in rhyming is fashion designing
Now it gets odd it, cause people want to sport it
You bought it, if you didn't then you couldn't afford it
Poetry full of surprises, it's like a game show
And my brain glows just like a rainbow
Rappers and poets they already know it
G Rap is a terror not a error and never will I stop reaching for better
Whether wheels of steel or reel to reel
G Rap will make you feel the real deal
I usually rap hardcore and I know
That y'all thinking am I somehow semi, so
We yell ";party"; and girls and boys and
Remember Kool G Rap, Doc the Butcher and Polo is poison
Poison! (x3)
Yeah, yo Marley turn down the music for a minute
I want to say what's up to my crew
Biz Markie, DJ Cool V, TJ Swan, Big Daddy Kane,
Mister Cee, Roxanne Shant? MC Shan,
My manager Fly Ty, Mr. Magic, my DJ Polo,
Doc the Butcher, my man Shannon, and my man Marley Marl
Word cause we all poison, knowwhati'msaying?
Polo: word up G Rap
They gonna bite this just like they bit ";It's a Demo,"; man
Well that's all right
Let's see how many rap sap suckers rush to bite this
Polo: word up you know who we talking about
You big fat sap sucker>
(L. Stansfield/I. Devaney/A. Morris)
Spoken:
Don't worry about me, baby
Whenever you walk by me, I can here you breath
I can smell the love you made when you were gone
Darlin' don't deny it, or make excuses
I've heard too many lies, to know that I'm not wrong
Baby don't insult me
I'm too tired to let it hurt me
Baby just believe me
And give me back my key, and set me free
Chorus:
Keep you're body to yourself, or give it to somebody else
You're poison
Can't you you see I'm far to tough to let it hurt
I've had enough of your poison
Don't lay your hands upon me
Just crawl back where you came from
I shutter at the thought of you touching me
You've stained the love I gave you
Baby, not for long
So much I could have given you
But now you'll never know
Baby don't insult me
I'm too tired to let it hurt me
Baby just believe me
And give me back my key, and set me free
Chorus
Got bad habits on your mind, you're underhanded
I'm not blind to your poison
Spoken:
Don't make me laugh, you've told so many lies
And of all the lies you told me, baby, you're the biggest
You think you've hurt me
I'm far too strong to let it get to me
Can't you see that I'm not crying anymore
So just get off my back, and leave me alone
Chorus

POISON
(MC5)
The partisans not the artisans
Are doing their dirty show
But i ripped my pants
Doing some dance
That i learned in France
And they think there ain't
nothin' to know
Used, abused
Locked up, beaten and fined
But i got free
Copped a plea
And i can see
That there ain't no freedom
bell gonna chime
This time
Truth and love
are my law and worship
Form and conscience
my manifestation and guide
Nature and peace are
my shelter and companion
Order is my attitude
Beauty and perfection
Are my attack
False faces
Fast company
A night of thrills
With no jealousy, no poison
Nobody's tool
Will be a public fool
To manipulate the masses
Who lie and cheat
And eat their meat
And think it's sweet
While the rest all clean their glasses
I would kill to taste the bricks
Of a city not quite so routine, so routine
See me breaking, see me fall
But we're still stuck in these walls
See me breaking, see me fall
So it's deathbeds for us all
But I can't
I will bear the chains once more
To be underground with your mercy
Tonight I'll escape the pavement and the
Now the city has gone under
And my streets are so much colder
Than what was a desert passing us by
See me breaking, see me fall
See me breaking, see me fall into your
I will bear the chains once more
To be underground with your mercy
Tonight I'll escape the pavement and the floor
But we're still stuck in these walls
So it's deathbeds for us all
White lines across our maps
Across your, across your
White lines across our map
Across your, across your
I will bear the chains once more
To be underground with your mercy
Tonight I'll escape the pavement and the floor
But were still stuck in these walls
It was one of those black cat nights The moon had gone out and the air was thin It was the kind of night that the cat would drag in. I'll never forget it, we had a fight. Then you turned around turned on the light. You left our bed. Then you moved downstairs to live with her instead. Yeah just one floor and a shout away, I guess I should have moved but I decided to stay. Did I drink some poison that I don't remember now? And every night I open all the windows I let a cold dark wind blow through. I play loud organ music and I talk to myself and dream of you. Uh oh! I hear voices coming up through the pipes through all the springs in my bed and up through the lights The volume goes up then it drops back down I can hear the two of you playing records moving furniture and fooling around. Did I drink some poison that I don't remember now? Is there blood on my hands/ No, my hands are clean. Did I do something in another lifetime that was really really mean? Yeah, I'm hearing voices. Am I losing my mind? Think I'm g
oing craz, I gotta get out. I run into the street and I start to shout Get ou of my way! Get out! Get out! Did I drink some poison that I don't remember now? Is there blood on my hands? Did I do something in another lifetime that was really really mean? A small bullet, a piece of glass And your heart just grows around it.
She's a flower she's a rose
Wonderful when she's close
But you'll see, don't say I didn't warn you
Every rose has it's thorn
She poisoned me like a virus
Her love is running through my veins
She is extremely contagious
All boys will get the same
Blood red lips, lovely smile
But behind something hides
You will feel, late at night
Razorteeth take a bite
Memories bother me
She comes back haunting me
If I could meet her once again
Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look could kill
My pain, your thrill
I want to love you but I better not
Touch (dont touch)
I want to hold you but my senses
Tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too
Much (too much)
I want to taste you but your lips
Are venomous poison
Youre poison running through my
Veins
Youre poison, I dont want to
Break these chains
Your mouth, so hot
Your web, Im caught
Your skin, so wet
Black lace on sweat
I hear you calling and its needles
And pins (and pins)
I want to hurt you just to hear you
Screaming my name
Dont want to touch you but
Youre under my skin (deep in)
I want to kiss you but your lips
Are venomous poison
Youre poison running through my veins
Youre poison, I dont wanna
Break these chains

Stick to an idea, the soundproof slick then
Put it on paper cause I make you hyper
Than any other rapper cause I keep my rapping riper
Like cherries or some say berries
Mandatory for the auditory and its glory
Here's the story: rappers getting leery to hear me
G speaks in a new technique of fury
Domination of drums and noise and
Yo yo yo Polo yo this is poison
Poison! [x3]
Look-alikes on the mic you should get off
You're a rip-off, I'mma rip up, get rid of, cause you bit off
Bite off ate off imitate off
They get paid off for G Rap to get laid off
Get up and sit up the butterer and buttercup
Male or female shut them up, Po shut her up
Yeah hide my line as you pick them up
Rob me blind of my rhymes you might as well have said stick them up
Letters of metaphor matters to better the fatter your pocket
Rhymes blast off like rockets
Rhymes will be replaced and beats erased
In case a rapper tries to trace hardcore bass
Made in a minute the sky is the limit
For reaching the goal and the dream wouldn't you want to be in it to win
Biters are wanted like animals hunted
Soon as I get them I hit them I done it to the suckers who fronted
The rappers who made it and did it
Forget about winning the battle cause I'mma shake rattle and roll
A little something for girls and boys and
Yo yo Polo my man yo this is poison
A mind designed to find a rhyme that's right on time
One step beyond and not behind the line
That separates dogs from divine
Take it as a caution, or a warning sign
Whether antonyms, words I'm blending them
Homonyms, synonyms, good like M&M;'s
With Polo and while he's slicing
I'll turn the mike's last name into Tyson
My brain is like a factory constantly creating
Material stitch by stitch for decoration
Lyrics are fabrics, beat is the lining
My passion in rhyming is fashion designing
Now it gets odd it, cause people want to sport it
You bought it, if you didn't then you couldn't afford it
Poetry full of surprises, it's like a game show
And my brain glows just like a rainbow
Rappers and poets they already know it
G Rap is a terror not a error and never will I stop reaching for better
Whether wheels of steel or reel to reel
G Rap will make you feel the real deal
I usually rap hardcore and I know
That y'all thinking am I somehow semi, so
We yell "party" and girls and boys and
Your cruel device, your blood like ice
One look could kill my pain, your thrill
I wanna love you but I better not touch
I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it 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
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
I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don't wanna touch you but you're under my skin
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
Running deep inside my veins
Posion burning deep inside my veins
One look could kill my pain, your thrill
I wanna love you but I better not touch
I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it 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
I wanna love you but I better not touch
I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it 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
Your cruel device
your blood like ice
one look could kill
my pain, your thrill
Your mouth so hot
your web, I'm caught
your skin, so wet
black lace, on sweat
You're poison...
You're poison...
You're poison...
You're poison...
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...
You're poison...
You're poison...
You're poison...
You're poison...
You're poison...
Late morning in my bed,
Just remembered what they said
That I should be more confident
And I'll soon have some compliment
I just don't believe in them
Maybe that could be a problem
Cause I'm alowed to think on my own
About the bullshits they have shown
Hey, you're down
What's that poison in your mind?
Hey, you're down
What's that poison in your mind?
Late evening in a bar
All the people who wanna be a star
I told them to be confident
And they'll soon have some compliment
But I just don't believe in that
Maybe that could be a sad fact
Cause I'm allowed to be on my own
And forget jerk, twat and assholes
Hey, you're down
What's that poison in your mind?
Hey, you're down
What's that poison in your mind?
Hey, you're down
What's that poison in your mind?
Hey, you're down
Like Chancre's
Canterbury tales
When three men find a pot of gold
and end up killing one another in the name of greed
Some people are poison
Under my skin like opium
And I'll stare in their eye to annoy them
Yeah there poison
Admissions of liabilities
I'm living in my own private cold war
In a room full of spies and I cannot find the door
Some people are poison
Under my skin like opium
And I'll stare in their eye to annoy them
Yeah there poison
The violent aspects of a tattered man
Let me respond to that if i can
Illuminated Manuscripts written by hand
Accusations have been made form the very beginning
Some people are poison
Under my skin like opium
And I'll stare in their eye to annoy them
Help me
I'm in disgrace
Witness slow death
All over my face
Help me
Pick up my heart
Tell my friends
Wherever they are
Listen
They stole my dream
New corruption
Know what I mean?
Listen
Do you think I don't know?
I've got a face like metal
And a radio
Listen up
Listen up good
New man's fame
Is new man's poison
Stand up
Stand up and fight
Stand up I won't quit so
Stand up and play
Stand up
Stand up and scream
Stand up I won't run so
Stand up and lose
Listen up
Listen up good
Innocence
Is new corruption
Memories?
I don't need
A dead museum
And a grudge to feed
Memories
Rewrite shame
Rearrange the feelings
To ease your pain
Big lie
So this is the word
A needle in the back
And my voice unheard
Big lie
So this is the news
Radio lost
And I've nothing to lose
Nu voice
Said this is insane
I'm trying to learn the rhythm
Of the rule change game
Nu voice
I'm a clock with no hands
Someone said forgive them
I don't know if I can
Tell me
What did I do?
You'd think I'd sold perversion
To the son of God (Who?)
Tell me
What did I say?
I don't believe that honesty
Pays
Listen up
Listen up good
New man's fame
Is new man's poison
Listen up
Listen up good
Innocence
Is new corruption
I could waist away with politics,
or drown myself with wine.
Confine myself to solitude,
and inject poison into my mind.
Meanwhile outside, everything still grows,
Wild like fire and fury, while I wish alone.
You know that I could feel the poison in my mind.
You know that I could feel the venom deep inside.
I feel like I am in an endless night,
like i am falling through the restless sky.
You can't erase them.
Every lie you've told.
For then they'd leave you,
and haunt you nevermore.
I could find myself in paradise.
Walk on endless shores.
Cut my feet so drastically before I beg for more.
Meanwhile, in front of me, under every stone,
lies a thousand reasons with a thousand rhymes.
You can't erase them.
Every lie you've told.
For then they'd leave you,
and haunt you nevermore.
You can't erase them.
Every lie you've told.
For then they'd leave you,
so face them forever more.
I once thought I did know all about it
Since the rain falls, the wind blows and the sun shines
Don't you know that your creator is a'running out of ideas?
I know that I might die from poison
Invisible hanging there in the sunlight
And don't you know that your creator is a'running out of ideas?
If I was you I'd be friendly to your neighbour
Be glad that he don't want to be your enemy
What? Yeah, yold on a second... (in the background)
Liam, someone on the phone for you
Oh, fuck's sake, tryin' to write this fucking tune, man
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(In the background: Boom, bah!)
(Also in the background: Hit the ground)
I got the poison, I got the poison
I got the poison, I got the poison
I got the poison, I got the remedy
I got the pulsating rhytmical remedy
I got the poison, I got the remedy
I got the pulsating rhytmical remedy
I got the poison, I got the remedy
I got the pulsating rhytmical remedy
I got the poison, I got the remedy
I got the pressure, the pressure
I got the poison, I got the remedy
I got the pulsating rhytmical remedy
I got the poison, I got the remedy
I got the pulsating rhytmical remedy
I got the poison, I got the remedy
I got the pulsating rhytmical remedy
I got the poison, I got the remedy
I got the pulsating rhytmical remedy
Your love is infectious,
Your rotten to the core,
Every body knows what you got,
But they still come back for more,
Your everybodys favourite,
You give them all a good time,
Your loves a total disaster,
But when they sign the dotted line they're,
Poisoned
One night with you and you've got me,
Poisoned,
Making love with the devils daughter,
Poisoned,
One night with you and you've got me,
Poisoned,
That dirty little bitch has got me,
Poisoned.
Sitting close beside me,
Hand upon my zip,
Don't bother to take it down, honey,
It's about to rip,
She's mammy's little virgin,
Her daddy's all in pride,
But she welcomed me with opened legs,
Kept me satisfied.
Tell me that you love me,
Say you'll never leave,
The more I give the more you take,
The more that you receive,
I got you down beneath me,
Open wide (ha ha),
I'm gonna make you pay for all,

She's got a look that knocking you down
Her husband is so angry kicks her in the teeth
He want to kill, he wants to poison
Poison - he's a maniac
Poison poison
Fuckin' little worms are creeping in her face
The man gets crazy and he must kick her down
(Repeat 2nd verse)
Smash the axe into her fuckin' ugly face
The blood is running out of her eyes
When time is tight. Huh? You can use it. Uh-huh.
Gonna break this up. What? Before we lose it. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
We just let things slide. All the way home.
Over all these years. And nothing was done.
Turn over once.
Turn over twice.
And now the clock has stopped
For me and for you
I'm not afraid
Of bursting at the seams
And there's nothing that we can do.
Gotta check these out (right) He don't like it Uh-huh.
Got an empty head (huh?) And she can't stand it. Uh-huh uh-huh
We just let things slide. All the way home.
Over all these years. And nothing was done.
Get a hold of his hands
Hold of this legs
Hold on curly top
Hold over blue
Dragged through the dust
What do I care?
People tell me you didn'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 said,
I've been doing Poison,
I guess I poisoned my life,
I've been doing Poison,
it's better than marrying your wife
On the road, the pace is getting frantic,
Specially when your poisoned out your mind,
A flight of stairs is like swimming the Atlantic,
When you're poisoned, deaf, dumb and blind,
I take my poison,
I guess I poisoned my life,
Been doing Poison,
I wish I'd Poisoned my wife
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,
Guess he poisoned my life
He was Poison,
I wish my mother wasn't his wife, no!
You better stop better run away
You better listen to what I have to say
I'll keep you hanging on the line
With just one kiss I will blow your mind
Your desperation makes you feel insane
Fever running high you will never be the same
Don't you treat me bad
Don't you make me sad
Our love could be deep as the ocean
If you can't be true
I've got news for you
Just remember I can be poison
Some people say that I'm hard to tame
They know that trouble is my middle name
To dangerous what you want from me
This chemistry in my body
I've got you scared and now your running blind
Don't make me mad
Cause you know I won't be kind, oh so kind
Don't give empty reasons baby
Cause I don't want your lies
Poison

Poison you ready Ron I'm ready

Mm mm tell 'em Rick it's all so beautiful
Relationships they seem from the start

When love is not together from the heart

That's why it's hard for me to find
Can't get it outta my head

Never trust a big butt and smile
That girl is poison poison
If I were you I'd take precaution
Before I start to leave fly girl
You know 'cause in some portions
You'll think she's the best thing in the world
She's so fly, she'll drive you right out of your mind
Steal your heart when you're blind
Beware she's schemin', she'll make you think you're dreamin'
You'll fall in love and you'll be screamin' dreamin'
Poison deadly moving it slow
Looking for a mellow fellow like DeVoe
Getting paid laid so better lay low
Schemin' on hots my end the pro show
The low pro hot should be cut like an afro

She's weighin' but I know she's a loser
How do you know me and the crew used to do her

I was at the bar shake shakin' takin' 'em off
And that night I played the wall
Checkin' out the fellas the highs the lows
Keepin' one eye open still clockin' 'em
Still one particular girl that stood out from the rest
Poison as can be how how is she

Disc go down late last night
Spinnin' room don't feel right
Spirits they all laugh at me
'Cause of my stupidity
Cold sweat on my brow
Feel it comin' up right now
Alaman-left to the powder room
Steppin' in time to a banjo tune
Poison, get thee out of me
Poison, get thee out of me
I can't focus, I can't see
TV don't make sense to me
Bubblin' crude comin' up fast
I swore that drink would be my last
Oh, my goodness, oh, my dear
Banjo pickin's all I hear
Spinnin' worlds gotta give
For tomorrow can't forgive
Poison, get thee out of me
Poison, get thee out of me
Disc go down late last night
Spinnin' room don't feel right
Spirits they all laugh at me
'Cause of my stupidity
Oh, my goodness, oh, my dear
Banjo pickin's all I hear
Cold sweat on my brow
Feel it comin' up right now
Poison, get thee out of me
Poison, get thee out of me
Poison, get thee out of me

I - I can't get over you
I don't know what to do
Coz' I'm still caught in you
I - Can't get away from you
I 'm feeling so confused
Coz' I'm still wanting you - (I'm still wanting you)
I need your kiss - think I need it too much
I need your love - think I better don't touch
I need to hold you - think I need it too much
I need to love you - think I better don't touch
It's like poison
I'm caught in your web
Deep under my skin you make me sweat
You're like poison
my senses say stop
But I can't help, I want your love
You - You're such a cruel device
You've got a heart like ice
I can't get over you - no, no, no, no, no, no ,no
Each time - Each time you call my name
It helps to ease the pain
Coz' I'm still caught in you - (I'm still caught in you)
But I better don't touch
It's like poison
I'm caught in your web
Deep under my skin you make me sweat
You're like poison
my senses say stop
But I can't help, I want your love
It's like poison
I've gone too far
Deep under my skin - is where you are
You're like poison
Don't know what to do
Can't break the chains - still wanting you
I'm gonna kiss your face,
and run like thunder.
I'm gonna grab your hair,
and pull you under.
I don't know why sometimes I wonder.
Must be the poison.
Poisoned right out of my head
think I'm gonna poison you instead.
I'm gonna kick you down,
and keep you under.
I'm gonna kiss your face,
and run like thunder.
I'm gonna, kick you down and run like th, th, th, thunder,
stick my big fat foot in your face, and run like,
run like, run like, run like,

Charlie was a fiddle player, the best there was around
He and his fiancé were at the picnic grounds
Charlie and his band would play the dance that summer night
But deep inside his heart he felt that somethin' wasn't right
His sister said you'd better keep an eye upon your girl
Rumor has it she's been givin' someone else a whirl
So Charlie had decided to spy on his bride-to-be
But never was he prepared to see what he would see
CHORUS:
Her love was poison
Her love was poison
She ran around with other boys 'n'
Her love was poison
He spotted her behind the barn in another's hands
The man he saw was Earl who played guitar in Charlie's band
Blood red sunset fell upon the couple's dark embrace
And cast a long and desperate shadow over Charlie's face
CHORUS
When that night he took the stage, sadness mixed with jealous rage
Charlie gazed upon the crowd, then raised his voice clear and loud
"What I've feared has come to pass" in his hand a poisoned glass
He swallowed that lye beneath the moon and said I'm playin' my farewell tune
As the last note died away, that fiddler did the same
They laid him in an old pine box, with nails they sealed his fame
Summer sun and poison soon made his body swell
The casket nearly burst apart and put forth quite a smell
Green flies swarmed around and followed Charlie all the way
To the little meadow where forever he would lay
And dream of fiddles, fiancés, and that fateful night
When Charlie played his farewell tune beneath the pale moonlight
My first sip made me gag
And I thought I was gonna blow beets
But I took another and pretty soon brother
Sour man started tasting sweet
Made me feel brave and strong
Bulletproof, like I could do no wrong
But I found out before too long
What I should've known
You can learn to love anything
Even a bird in a cage will sing a song
Even it's wrong
Even if it kills you in the end
You can learn to love anything
Trade your heart and soul for a ball and chain
Anything can bring you pleasure, even pain
Pick your poison
Poison
Pick your poison
Ruby lips hid a razor tongue
And heart, blue as glacier ice
I was warned, but I was willing
To ignore everybody's advice
The more I gave, the more she took
She walked away without a second look
Just one more page from the great big book
On how
You can learn to love anything
Even a bird in a cage will sing a song
Even if it's wrong
Even if it kills you in the end
You can learn to love anything
Trade your heart and soul for a ball and chain
Anything can bring you pleasure, even pain
You can learn to love anything
A prison wall, a ball and chain
Anything can bring you pleasure, even pain
Pick your poison
Poison
(You can learn)
Pick your poison
Pick your poison
(You can learn)
Pick your poison
Poison
Poison
Pick your poison

Your heart's as black as poison
Cold as ice through and through
You say you wouldn't hurt me
Not what you say it's what you do
Where is my yesterday
It's clearer than tomorrow
Now I incinerate
The vision that you borrowed
Poisoning my mind
Take my soul leave the shell behind
Keep pushing the line
Take me out leave me without your poison
Your heart's as black as poison
Cold as ice through and through
You say you wouldn't hurt me
Now my mind is frozen too
Your world is made of glass
Message in a bottle
If you'd thrown out your trash
Might have made a martyr
Chorus
Keep pushing me down
Keep pushing me I don't care (x6)
(RedOne) Nicole... Yeah
[Verse 1]
Got venom dripping from my lips
Know who you're about to kiss
Think that you can handle it, boy, it's on
Just step into the danger zone
Shake it if you wanna roll, never bend,
Just take control, stakes are on
So sick, get a grip, gonna stick to a stick
I don't think that I can stop this
Pick it up, let it drop, when it drops slip it up
Oh no, I'll never stop
[Chorus]
That bad girl power I got, I'll abuse it tonight
Cause tonight got poison on my mind
That power I got you'll be mine when I stay till real late
Got poison on my mind
I got that poison (uh huh), I got that poison (uh huh)
I got that poison, that poison on my mind
I got that poison (uh huh), I got that poison (uh huh)
I got that poison, that poison on my mind
[Verse 2]
So cool out, let her in the scene
Cause tonight I need to kiss a sexy little dirty scream, yeah, it's on
Then I get you in my sleep, it ought to be extreme
You're so cool, baby, you're so mean (Turn me on, turn me on)
So sick, get a grip, gonna stick to a stick
I don't think that I can stop this
Pick it up, let it drop, when it drops slip it up
Oh no, I'll never stop, hey
[Chorus]
That bad girl power I got, I'll abuse it tonight
Cause tonight got poison on my mind
That power I got, you'll be mine when I stay till real late
Got poison on my mind
I got that poison (uh huh), I got that poison (uh huh)
I got that poison, that poison on my mind
I got that poison (uh huh), I got that poison (uh huh)
I got that poison, that poison on my mind
[Bridge]
I got that poison, that poison, that poison
I'll make you fall in love with me
(Turn me on, turn me on)
I got that poison, that poison, that poison
I'll make you fall in love with me
(Turn me on, turn me on)
That bad girl power I got, I'll abuse it tonight
Got poison on my mind
That power I got, you'll be mine till the light
Got poison on my mind
[Chorus]
That bad girl power I got, I'll abuse it tonight
Cause tonight got poison on my mind
That power I got, you'll be mine when I stay till real late
Got poison on my mind
I got that poison (uh huh), I got that poison (uh huh, uh huh)
Got poison on my mind
I got that poison (uh huh), I got that poison (uh huh, uh huh)
Just the memory of you
It feels like poison
Still the memory of you
It feels like poison
It kills like poison
Why you do the things you do?
It feels like poison
I can only love you
It feels like poison
If not for you
No love in front of me
Nobody told you
It's not how it's supposed to be
Make a wish and blow it out
Love will begin again
I don't want to be a clown
The whole town is laughing
Behind my back, you're supposed to be a friend
If not for you
No love in front of me
Nobody told you
It's not how it's supposed to be
It’s not how it’s supposed to be
It’s not how it’s supposed to be
It’s not how it’s supposed to be
It’s not how it’s supposed to be
It feels like poison
Why you do the things you do?
It feels like poison
Why you do the things you do?
It feels like poison
Why you do the things you do?
I'm going to meet you
I'm going to meet you
I'm going to meet you

I'm going to meet you
I'm going to meet you
I'm going to meet you
I'm going to meet you
I'm going to meet you
I'm going to meet you
I'm going to meet you
Voices are child in sound fades away
For silence is walking
Signs of you will leave
What will happen and now the same as you
'Til the end of someone's world
And the cradle says goodbye to yesterday
Painfully, I prepare a release
And poison takes me away
Poison takes me away, takes me away
Listen, don't cry my child
When you awake
My father's table has set a place for you
Contact, with fire full love
As you're to know my days
A season of poison will bring the darkness soon
Painfully, I prepare a release
And poison takes me away
Poison takes me away
On angel's wings, you learn to fly
On angel's wings, you learn to fly
From this world you left below
I'm going to meet you
I've come to take you home
Mommy, mommy, mommy
From this world you left below
I'm going to meet you
I've come to take you home
From this world you left below
I'm going to meet you
I've come to take you home
Painfully, I prepare a release
And poison takes me away
Poison takes me away
On angel's wings, you learn to fly
You are my poison you are my poison

Poison
Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look could kill
My pain, your thrill
I want to love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't want to 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 want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don't want to touch you but you're under my skin (deep in)
I want to 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
One look could kill
My pain, your thrill
I want to love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I want to 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
I want to love you but I better not touch (don't touch)
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much (too much)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison, yeah
I don't want to break these chains
Poison, oh no
Running deep inside my veins,
Burning deep inside my veins
It's poison
I don't wanna break these chains
What you heard about me
Was probably right
I'm the boy next door
The one you were warned about
Oh yes, indeed
Well, I'm no upstanding citizen
but I'm standing up just the same
Chorus:
Number one bad boy
who's to blame
Number one bad boy
Ain't that a shame
Yeah, right
All my friends are two faced
And I'm a social disgrace
I got no morals
Don't belong in the rat race
Well, I'm no upstanding citizen
but I'm standing up just the same
Into a lonely world
Where I'm lost without a trace
Two faced
rat race
disgrace
Will I stand up on my own?
(I wanna love you but I, but I better not)
Poison
(I wanna love you but I, but I better not)
Poison
Your cruel device
your blood, like ice
One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill...
I wanna love you but I better not touch
I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
I wanna kiss you but I want it too much
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
Your poison running through my veins
Your poison
I don't wanna play these games
(I wanna love you but I, but I better not)
Poison
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
I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don't wanna touch you but you're under my skin
I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
Your poison running through my veins
Your poison
I know if you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it's yours.
Chances are it wont come back to you. And if it does, do yourself a favor and
let it go yourself
Poison that's what you are to me
Yea I said poison
This prison is a blessing I don't wanna be free
Why sould I have to pay
'cause you don't like the way I am today
(Prozak)
I know it's fucked up how I treat ya tellin your mom I used to beat ya
Mistreat ya and how I used to leave ya
Alone home by the phone crying in pain
Stuttering and flinching every time you have to speak my name
Pamphlets about domestic violence
And how you lived this life of pain and misery and anguish and silence
It seems I can't explain my actions and in my absence
You have to see your family's horrified reactions
'cause uh I know they'd lock me up if they could
Makin excuses for me like a trooper girl just like you should
Shattered dreams and expectations
Starin out the window with teary eyes a broken will and lacerations
Poison that's what you are to me
Yea I said poison
This prison is a blessing I don't wanna be free
Why sould I have to pay
'cause you don't like the way I am today
(Prozak)
When we first got together you said that you respected me
Known about my fucked up childhood but you still accepted me
We took it to that level but sometimes I swear it's like I'm obsessed with the
devil
And these differences that cannot be settled
Everytime we fuck it's out of spite and hatred
Lookin at me like you wish you could kill me that bond is sacred
See I was fucked from the get go raised like a pit bull
Mental abuse pain and anguish things I can't let go
All I can do in this life is bring you down
Things were much better for you until the day I came around
Fuck it I can't take this pain no more
The partisans not the artisans
Are doing their dirty show
But i ripped my pants
Doing some dance
That i learned in France
And they think there ain't
nothin' to know
Used, abused
Locked up, beaten and fined
But i got free
Copped a plea
And i can see
That there ain't no freedom
bell gonna chime
This time
Truth and love
are my law and worship
Form and conscience
my manifestation and guide
Nature and peace are
my shelter and companion
Order is my attitude
Beauty and perfection
Are my attack
False faces
Fast company
A night of thrills
With no jealousy, no poison
Nobody's tool
Will be a public fool
To manipulate the masses
Who lie and cheat
And eat their meat
And think it's sweet
While the rest all clean their glasses
Yeah spot a man of freedom for a fact aah-aah uh-hum
Poison you ready Ron I'm ready
You ready Dave I'm ready Slick are you
Oh yeah break it down
Girl I must warn you
I sense something strange in my mind
Yeah yo situation is serious
Let's cure it 'cause we're running out of time
Mm mm tell 'em Rick it's all so beautiful
Relationships they seem from the start
Yeah mm mm it's all so deadly
When love is not together from the heart
Mm mm check it out
It's driving me out of my mind
That's why it's hard for me to find
Can't get it outta my head
Miss her, kiss her, love her, wrong move you're dead
That girl is poison
Never trust a big butt and smile
That girl is poison poison
If I were you I'd take precaution
Before I start to leave fly girl
You know 'cause in some portions
You'll think she's the best thing in the world
She's so fly, she'll drive you right out of your mind
Steal your heart when you're blind
Beware she's schemin', she'll make you think you're dreamin'
You'll fall in love and you'll be screamin' dreamin'
Poison deadly moving it slow
Looking for a mellow fellow like DeVoe
Getting paid laid so better lay low
Schemin' on hots my end the pro show
The low pro hot should be cut like an afro
See what you're sayin' huh
She's weighin' but I know she's a loser
How do you know me and the crew used to do her
Poison (x20)
I was at the bar shake shakin' takin' 'em off
And that night I played the wall
Checkin' out the fellas the highs the lows
Keepin' one eye open still clockin' 'em
Still one particular girl that stood out from the rest
Poison as can be how how is she
Michael me and see and I'm runnin' the show
Bell Biv DeVoe ha-ha ha-ha
Now you know you're Slick blow
It's driving me out of my mind
That's why it's hard for me to find
Can't get it outta my head
Miss her, kiss her, love her, wrong move you're dead
That girl is poison (Poison poison)
Never trust a big butt and smile
Poison (Poison poison)
She's dangerous
Poison
Oh yeah (poison) oh yeah
(Poison poison)
Hear fellas you hear what I'm saying Mike
Yeah baby dance for a fact
What's happened to Ral-T and Johnny G and Bobby Brown
You know who we mean crew
(Poison)
I've got a house in the back of my head
But I can't find a permanent resident
'Cause the markets down and
The area's not so good these days
I've got a watch but I don't have time
I got a road and it leads to decadence
But a dead end sign waits down the line
I leave my footprints for the evidence
So take my life, I'll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes
But you can't fill these shoes
On a silver platter, your wish came true
So your heart of gold turned platinum
You can take my life
But you can't take it with you
More long days and fleeting nights
So tell them, wake me under flashing lights
'Cause I'm a brand name bought and sold
They say a face for fame is a crying shame
Because to face the crowd is to play their game
And I can play a little too rough now and again
You drank the poison and I let you in
So take my life, I'll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes
But you can't fill these shoes
On a silver platter, your wish came true
So your heart of gold turned platinum
You can take my life but you can't take it with you
You drank the poison and I, I let you in
Would you trade that heart of gold for a minute in my skin
You drank the poison and I, I let you in
Would you trade that heart of gold for a minute in my skin
So take my life, I'll hand it to you
And you can try on my clothes
But you can't fill these shoes
On a silver platter, your wish came true
So your heart of gold turned platinum
Poison
Gonna take a long time to get over you
Loves poison addiction offers me no rescue
Gonna be a hard road back to where I started from
Cause you touched the deepest part of me and filled me
With your song
And I sang along
I believe in you and what you gotta do
But what youre goin through is poison,
Poision to the two of us
Used to stand so tall
Til I took the fall, greatest fall of all
Was when I fell for you
Our cloudy skies held lonely forms
Your anger familiar thick as air before a storm
Now lookin back I know the truth was plain to see
I built my world around you cause I
I needed to believe
And I still believe
Time & time again we tried so hard to win
But the pleasures of a foolish paradise
Here comes the minister,
His three-piece seems sinister,
And I'm just a visitor,
But I still know when I see a prisoner,
I thought we all knew a tree and its fruit,
Are only just as good as the soil nourishing that root,
And here comes the senator,
And his high-class, bitch-ass lobbyist investors,
I'm just the messenger,
Oh, but I still know when I see a prisoner, yeah,
I thought we all knew a tree and its fruit,
Are only just as good as the soil nourishing that root,
I thought it was obvious when you worship the fund,
The root of your evil is what your heart becomes,
The fruit that you bear may be beautiful to some,
But it's poison, it's poison, it's poison,
It's poison,
Here comes the singer and his self-righteous demeanor,
But look at these clothes--it shows,
Everybody knows I am just a prisoner,
I thought we all knew a tree and its fruit,
Are only just as good as the soil nourishing that root,
I thought it was obvious when you worship the fund,
The root of your evil is what your heart becomes,
The fruit that you bear may be beautiful to some,
But it's poison, it's poison, it's poison,
Your a cruel device
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 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
One look
(One look)
Could kill
(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 I don't wanna break these chains, poison
(Poison)
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
Yeah, well I don't wanna break these chains, poison
(Poison)
Runnin' deep inside my veins
Burnin' deep inside my brain, poison
(Poison)
I don't wanna break these chains
(Poison)
(Poison)
Poison
At the out city dancehall the wild ones lead the Friday
night parade. If you’re looking for affection, best be
careful where you lay your name. ‘Cause they’ll pin your
renegade heart to wall and leave you there to hang. Last
night at some Scarborough disco, another empty pocket
took a fall. Wild ones put a kid out of the business, and
they shake it off life shivering dogs. No dog tooth
trigger will poison us. No sinister blade will poison us.
When we dance, the night belongs to us. Who gives a damn
for the blue laws, when the sun come up on an empty lot.
A little more blood in the weekend’s wake. They shake it
…You don’t wanna touch that drug
Sista you don’t wanna touch that drug…
Check it out:
Sista you out here raisin’ our community’s kids
Impartin’ a stronger sense of what “community” is
Teachin’ ‘em how to speak the word and what to do with
these fists
You’re like a young Sojourner – truly through you, she
lives
You do God’s work, and for it you deserve to be praised
‘Cause I know – the sacrifice is hardly worth what it
pays
Nevertheless – on you press to nurture the babes
But take care – overprotectin’ ‘em will hurt ‘em in
ways
You can’t imagine – some call passion a tool
Of Satan – creatin’ bonds with fanatics and fools
And the fear of that is why freedom’s absent in school
And they substitute for gold the platinum rule
It’s on you to provide what they don’t supply to the
mass
Knowledge of the forefathers they won’t find in their
class
And you aint gotta force feed ‘em, but when finally
they ask
Tell ‘em they must shine for they were divine in the
past
Understand – I’ve been ready to commit to your team
With the two forces combined we can uplift a regime
But I am worthless as soon as I am stripped of my miens
And if you see it as the cause for the split between us
then that’s
Poison – I don’t wanna touch this drug
Fuck it – I don’t need the rush that much
Understand I’ll lay it all down straight and walk away
overnight
If it means you and me will unite (X2)
Brother you’re out here speakin from a stump in the
rain
I admire your stamina – it’s like you’re numb to the
pain
Through the mic it’s like you and I are one-in-the-same
We promise hope, though most say we’re just mumblin’
slang
But the change’ll come – we know from readin’ the text
And when I tend stop short, yo you keep me abreast
You were born to be a leader of the elite’s best
But my concern’s for the rest of the people that’s left
See I was baptized once as a child in the church
And as a man now, overstand the lies in their works
They’re tryin’ hard to save souls sellin’ violence and
hurt
But mine was free from the beginning to fly since birth
Now I wanna help another cat to feel like that
Mixin’ metaphysical concepts with real-life facts
To equip the front lines in the field where pipes crack
With rhyme, to the reason they’re choosin’ to fight
back
Understand that you and I both serve the same cause
For peace – whether we’re reachin’ it through words or
wars
Sometimes our backgrounds help determine our course
But when the weight starts to separate and burden us,
Lord, that’s
Poison – I don’t wanna touch this drug
Fuck it – I don’t need the rush that much
Understand I’ll lay it all down straight and walk away
overnight

Poison is an American glam metal band that achieved great success in the mid-1980s to mid-1990s. Poison has sold over 30 million records worldwide[1] and have sold 15 million records in the United States alone.[2] The band has also charted ten singles to the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, including six Top 10 singles and the Hot 100 number-one single, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn".[3] The band become icons of the '80s MTV era and have had widespread commercial success. The band's break through debut album, the multi platinum Look What the Cat Dragged In was released in 1986 and they hit their peak with the second album, the multi-platinum selling Open Up and Say... Ahh! which became the bands most successful album ever. The popularity continued into the new decade with their third consecutive multi platinum selling album Flesh & Blood.
In the 90's following the release of the bands first live album Swallow This Live, the band experienced some line up changes and the fall of Pop Metal with the grunge movement, but despite the drop in popularity the bands fourth studio album Native Tongue still achieved Gold status and the bands first compilation album Poison's Greatest Hits: 1986–1996 went double platinum.
In the 2000s, with the original line up back together, the band found new popularity after a successful greatest hits reunion tour in 1999. The band began the new decade with the release of the long awaited Crack a Smile... and More!, followed by the Power to the People album. The band toured almost every year to sold out stadiums and arenas. They released a brand new album Hollyweird in 2002 and in 2006 the band celebrated their 20 year Anniversary with The Best of Poison: 20 Years of Rock tour and album, which was certified Gold and marked Poison's return to the Billboard 200 top 20 charts for the first time since 1993. Band members have released several solo albums and starred in successful reality TV shows. After 25 years, the band is still recording music and performing.
Since their debut in 1986, they have released eight studio albums, four live albums, five compilation albums, and have issued 28 singles to radio.

Band history[link]
Early years (1983-1986)[link]
Poison was formed in 1983, and consisted of lead vocalist and more Bret Michaels, guitarist Matt Smith, bassist Bobby Dall, and drummer Rikki Rockett. Bret Michaels and Rikki Rockett first joined forces to form a band called the Spectres in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and then teamed up with Matt Smith and Bobby Dall to form Paris. After playing mostly rock cover songs in Mechanicsburg-area bars they moved to Los Angeles on 6 March 1984 and changed the name of the band from Paris to Poison.
Rise to fame (1986-1991)[link]
Poison promoted themselves up and down Hollywood's Sunset Strip, passing out flyers and making the rounds performing in the famous local clubs. During this period, Poison's manager negotiated a deal under which the West Hollywood club, The Troubador, would pay for shows.[4] At this time, Smith, who was about to become a father and was concerned about the band's future, left the band to return home to Pennsylvania. The band auditioned for a replacement guitarist, eventually narrowing down the field to three candidates: Slash, who would later join Guns N' Roses, Steve Silva from The Joe Perry Project, and New York-born guitarist C.C. DeVille, although Michaels and Dall did not initially get along with Deville, the band eventually agreed that DeVille's "fire" made him the best choice.[5]
Michaels, Dall, Rockett and DeVille signed to independent label Enigma Records in 1986 (see 1986 in music) for approximately $30,000. Their debut album: Look What the Cat Dragged In, was released 2 August 1986. It originally included only one single, "Cry Tough"; however, Look What the Cat Dragged In became a surprise success and subsequently spawned three charting hits: "Talk Dirty to Me", "I Want Action", and "I Won't Forget You",[6] The record became the biggest-selling-album in Enigma's history. With heavy rotation on MTV, their debut earned the band tours with fellow glam rockers Ratt, Cinderella, and Quiet Riot, as well as a coveted slot in the Texxas Jam in Dallas. The album ultimately has sold 4 million copies worldwide.
In 1987 the band recorded a cover of the Kiss song "Rock and Roll All Nite" for the soundtrack to Less Than Zero.
Poison's second album, Open Up and Say...Ahh!, was released 21 May 1988.[7] It peaked at #2 on the American charts and would ultimately go on to sell 8 million copies worldwide. The album included the band's biggest hit, the #1 hit single "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", along with other hits like: "Nothin' but a Good Time", "Fallen Angel", and the Loggins and Messina cover "Your Mama Don't Dance". The album's first cover was controversial, as it depicted a female demonic figure with an obscenely long tongue. A censored version of the cover followed, focusing on the figure's eyes. By the time the band toured with David Lee Roth in 1988 on the Skyscraper Tour, it was apparent that Poison had become a major live act and the band moved from support status to headlining their own tour in September 1988. As of 1989, the band had become the seventh-best-selling hard rock band in the US of the 1980s, behind Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith and Van Halen. In 1989, the band released their first video album titled "Sight for Sore Ears" which featured all their music videos from the first two albums.
Conflict pursued the band persistently. Bryn Bridenthal, head of publicity at Geffen Records, slapped a $1.1 million lawsuit on the band for drenching her with drinks and a bucket of ice at a music industry party. Then, Sanctuary Music, Poison's former management company, filed a $45.5 million breach of contract suit against the band. Poison retaliated with charges of mismanagement of funds. Michaels's frequent brawling garnered him further lawsuits in Tallahassee, Atlanta, and Los Angeles.[8]
Poison continued their adherence to the "work hard, play hard" motto, following up with their third album, Flesh & Blood, which was released 21 June 1990. It also was highly successful, peaking at #2 and selling more than 7 million copies worldwide.[9][10] The album's success prompted the impetus for a further world tour. Shedding their big-haired image as they moved into the 1990s, Poison took a more mature approach to their third album. In Screamer magazine Michaels explained how Flesh and Blood signaled a change in the band: "I think that the same way that we shocked people in the beginning with the look, this one might shock them with the music a little bit. This one's the one that's going to show that there's a little bit of another side to the band."
Poison received a letter from Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney thanking the band for contributing 20,000 CDs of the album Flesh & Blood to lift the morale of U.S. Troops during Desert Storm, and their continued support of the Armed Forces.[11]
The album also features an alternative cover, as the original featured what appeared to be running ink or possibly blood from a tattoo. (Subsequent versions of this cover removed the "extra" ink.) The record went multi-platinum, spawning three gold singles: "Unskinny Bop", "Ride the Wind", and the ballad "Something To Believe In" which was dedicated to the band's security guard and close friend James Kimo Maano who died. Life Goes On was the fourth single and the last single released was the title cut, "Flesh & Blood (Sacrifice)". The video of "Flesh & Blood (Sacrifice)" was banned from MTV due to its explicit nature, but did surface later in early 1991 in their second video compilation, Flesh, Blood, & Videotape.
One of the band's few appearances in the UK was on 18 August 1990 at Donington's Monsters of Rock festival in the summer of 1990. Whitesnake headlined with Aerosmith, Quireboys and Thunder supporting them. This event was broadcast on BBC Radio 1.
After two consecutive years on the road, band members were at each others' throats with personal differences, drug addictions, etc. Poison recorded several performances during its 1990/1991 Flesh & Blood world tour, which were released in November 1991 as the band's fourth album, Swallow This Live. The double album features live tracks from Poison's first three studio albums and four new studio tracks including the single "So Tell Me Why", which were the last recorded before C.C. DeVille's departure from the band later that year. The band also released their first video concert on VHS from the same tour titled Swallow This Live: Flesh & Blood World Tour.
Changing times (1992–1998)[link]
Despite Poison's success, DeVille's cocaine addiction had begun to cause strife in the band. Conflict between Michaels and DeVille culminated in a fistfight backstage at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards, provoked by DeVille's inept live performance. The band was scheduled to play Unskinny Bop but was brought to a halt when they were playing during the commercial break. High and drunk during the performance, Deville missed the cue when they came back live and forgot what to play and started playing "Talk Dirty To Me". During the song his guitar lead disconnected mid-performance. DeVille was fired and replaced by Pennsylvanian guitarist Richie Kotzen.
Poison's fifth album, Native Tongue, was released 8 February 1993. It was strongly influenced by Kotzen's fresh songwriting contributions and guitar performance. It marked a change for the band as they abandoned their anthemic party tunes to focus on more serious subjects, and was far more blues-rock oriented than glam metal. Containing the singles "Stand" which featured the Los Angeles First A.M.E. Church Choir on backing vocals, "Until You Suffer Some (Fire And Ice)" and "Body Talk", the album received generally positive reviews and did go Gold, but following the arrival of grunge sales were sluggish compared with the first three albums, selling only 2 million copies worldwide. The band toured in support of the album, but tensions mounted between Kotzen and the rest of the band. Kotzen's future in the band was doomed when it was discovered that he had become romantically involved with Rockett's then-fiancée Deanna Eve. Kotzen was promptly fired, and replaced by Blues Saraceno who completed the world tour with the band including the famous "HOLLYWOOD ROCK" concerts in Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo, Brazil, where they played to over 165,000 people. A concert from the Native Tongue world tour was released on VHS/DVD titled "Seven Days Live".
Poison began recording its sixth album, Crack a Smile, in early 1994. Recording was brought to an abrupt halt in May 1994, when Michaels was involved in a car accident where he lost control of his Ferrari. Michaels suffered a broken nose, ribs, jaw, and fingers and lost four teeth. After his recovery in 1995, the band continued recording the album. The album became shelved shortly after this, with no release date anywhere in sight. Instead, the label opted for a Greatest Hits compilation, which featured two new tracks with Saraceno on guitar, "Sexual Thing" and "Lay Your Body Down". The first Greatest Hits album was released on 26 November 1996 and sold extremley well going on to reach double platinum status.
After several years apart, Michaels and DeVille were able to patch up their differences, welcoming C.C. DeVille back into Poison in 1996 replacing Blues Saraceno.[12]
Bret Michaels was involved with Pamela Anderson. An abridged version of an explicit sex tape the couple made appeared on the Internet in 1998.[13]
Bret Michaels and actor friend Charlie Sheen co-founded a production company called Sheen Michaels Entertainment[14]. In 1998, Michaels made his acting debut along side Charlie and Martin Sheen in the movie A Letter from Death Row, which was also written and directed by Michaels[15]. Michaels also released his first solo album that year, which was the Soundtrack to the movie.
Original line up back, new-found popularity, solo albums and reality TV (1999–2009)[link]
The Greatest Hits reunion tour finally took place in the summer of 1999. With the original lineup intact, Poison hit the road. The band's supporting tour was a success, with its show at Pine Knob Amphitheater in metro Detroit drawing a sell-out crowd of 18,000. Tour dates averaged crowds of 12,000. A summer appearance on VH1's Behind the Music appeared to solidify the reunited lineup's new-found popularity. Hardcore fans uncovered copies of Crack a Smile from the numerous bootlegs that were beginning to surface, but it was not long before a shortfall in supply became evident. Fans clamored for an official release fearing that not only was the album becoming a collectors piece but was also quite possibly "their best album to date." On 14 March 2000, Crack a Smile...and More! was finally released becoming Poison's seventh album after the Greatest Hits: 1986-1996 album took its place as the sixth, fans were calling it "The Lost Album". Crack a Smile...and More! was a bright and raunchy series of party anthems such as the single "Shut Up, Make Love" and power ballad "Be the One", containing few traces of the seriousness of Native Tongue. Capitol included bonus tracks on the album to compete with the bootleg industry including one outtake from the Open Up And Say...Ahh! session as well as two outtakes from the Crack a Smile session. "One More For The Bone" and "Set You Free", were originally planned for use as B-sides to the singles. In addition to the outtakes, live recordings from the 1990 installment of the MTV Unplugged series were included.
After The poison reunion C.C. Soon released his solo album Samantha 7 and Michaels released the solo/Poison album "Show Me Your Hits" which featured re-recorded Poison classics, the album featured Michaels performing Poison hits in a new way and also featured other artists with Michaels on selected tracks. Poison also released Power to the People, their first album with DeVille in nine years. The record contained five new studio songs: "Power to the People" which features a music video, "Can't Bring Me Down," "The Last Song", "Strange," and "I Hate Every Bone In Your Body But Mine," the latter with DeVille on lead vocals for the first time. The remainder of the album featured live performances from the greatest hits reunion tour in 1999. With two Poison albums released in 2000 the band once again hit the road and made it back to back successful tours.
In 2001 Poison released the web single Rockstar as a preview of the upcoming new album and once again went on tour, touring with Warrant on the Glam Slam Metal Jam tour.
Poison's sixth full studio album, Hollyweird, was released on 21 May 2002. It was Poison's first full album of new material with C.C. DeVille back in the band. The album was heavily criticised by both critics and fans, feeling it had poor production quality and an unimpressive new sound. One popular site said "It's muddy, under-produced, badly mixed and features crappy drum and guitar sounds".[16] Other reviewers were more impressed, such as Allmusic, who declared it "one of their best records, if not their best." Bobby Dall on The Who cover single “Squeeze Box” stated,
...Actually, that was Rikki’s idea. When we came into rehearsals...to break the ice for the new record...before we started fightin’ and arguin’ about songs, we went through a list of covers and remakes. ...It was the song that stuck and I think it fits perfectly for our band. It has a great melody and a great vocal, but it's also kinda sparse and undefined...it was kinda like an open pallet for us.[17]
"Shooting Star" was also released as a single for the album and was referred to as part 2 to the Fallen Angel single from Open Up And...Say Ahh.
Following the Hollyweird world tour Poison released their second compilation album, Best of Ballads & Blues, in 2003. It contains a new acoustic version with new lyrics of "Something to Believe In" and a new acoustic version of "Stand". Bret Michaels also released his 2nd solo album Songs Of Life which featured singles "Bittersweet" and "Raine" which featured a music video and was dedicated to his daughter. On 7 January that year, after almost 20 years with Poison, Rikki Rockett released his first solo album Glitter 4 Your Soul which was distributed online. The album was a tribute to 1970s glam rock.
The Poison hit song "Nothing But a Good Time" featured in the 2003 film Grind. The song comes about when Joey Kern's character put in a Poison CD, which made everyone in the van start to sing the song and air guitar the solo.
During the summer of 2004, Poison was invited to serve as the opening band on Kiss's “Rock the Nation” tour. Poison were largely inactive in 2005 which is when Bret Michael's released his third solo album, the country-rock-influenced Freedom Of Sound, which included the single "All I Ever Needed" featuring Jessica Andrews, which also featured a music video and appeared on Billboard's "Hot Country Songs" chart, with its best position being number 45.[18] It also included the singles "Right Now, Right Here" and "Open Road" which Bret performed live on Nashville Star, a country reality television program which featured Michaels as one of the judges.
The Poison hit song "Nothing But a Good Time" also featured in the 2005 film Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
In March, 2006 DeVille appeared on VH1's reality television show The Surreal Life, the same day he got out of rehab. The Poison hit cover song "Your Mama Don't Dance" was played in the 2006 movie "RV".
After a year off, Poison returned to the music scene. They celebrated their 20th anniversary with a "20 Years Of Rock" world tour in the summer of 2006, with fellow rockers Cinderella and Endeverafter opening. The tour swiftly became one of the most successful tours of 2006 in the U.S., averaging about 10,000 people per night. To complement it, the band had released an anniversary compilation album The Best Of Poison: 20 Years Of Rock, in April that year. The album also features a new single, a cover of Grand Funk Railroad's "We're An American Band", produced by Don Was and also features a music video. The compilation debuted at #17 with a first week sales total of 39,721, which marked Poison's return to the top 20 charts for the first time since 1993.[19]
On 1 August 2006, Capitol Records released remastered versions of the first three Poison albums: Look What the Cat Dragged In, Open Up and Say...Ahh! and Flesh and Blood, in honor of Poison's 20th anniversary. All three include bonus tracks. Look What the Cat Dragged In features the extra track "You Don't Mess Around With Jim", Open Up and Say...Ahh! (which uses the previously banned album cover instead of the censored one) has the extra track "Livin' For The Minute" and an interview with the band, and Flesh and Blood features two extra tracks: an alternate version of "Something to Believe In" and an instrumental cover of the Sex Pistols' "God Save the Queen".
During the show in Atlanta on August 25 that year, Bret Michaels and Bobby Dall had to be separated by members of the road crew and the rest of the band after the two came to blows right before the encore, with Michaels throwing his mic at Dall, and Dall retaliating by slamming his bass into Michaels, injuring his knee. Michaels apologised later and stated, "You may have just seen the last concert by Poison in its current formation". The altercation happened before the band's set ended with "Talk Dirty To Me". After some tense moments and Michaels's apology to the crowd including his explanation that "like brothers, sometimes you have to air things out", the band did finish the set. Dall left the stage immediately.[20] There have been many physical conflicts within the band over the years, but this is the first onstage since the fistfight between Michaels and DeVille at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1991, but that took place after the performance, not during. The band took time out while Michaels continued with his solo tour.
On 3 January 2007, Poison announced on their official MySpace page that they would like their fans to help pick favourite classic rock songs for the new studio album that they are to record. The fans replied with suggestions like Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird", Sweet's "The Ballroom Blitz", and AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long", along with what might be an obvious choice - Alice Cooper's "Poison". On 28 January, Rikki Rockett explained,
"The Album will be ready for a summer Poison tour. That is the plan, anyway. p.s. The songs we are doing are NOT what you expect"
On 14 February 2007, it was announced by VH1 that Bret Michaels is going to have his own reality show called Rock of Love with Bret Michaels, where women will have to compete for his love and prove they can keep up with his rock star life. Rock of Love premiered on 15 July 2007.[21][22]
During 2007, Poison went on a summer tour with Ratt. They released their covers album, now named Poison'd!, on 5 June 2007 through Capitol Records. The album entered the Billboard 200 chart at #32 and charted at #12 on the Top Rock Albums, selling 21,000 copies in its first week.[23] The first single "What I Like About You" featured a music video from the band. White Lion was removed from the tour due to legal issues, and Vains of Jenna took their place. The August 2nd sold-out show in at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre St. Louis, Missouri was taped for a live concert DVD and for a HDNet Concert special called: POISON: LIVE, RAW & UNCUT that aired on 26 October 2007 as part of Heavy Metal Halloween. The band also appeared that night on the channel's Sound Off with Matt Pinfield.[24]
The band played at the Rock2Wgtn rock festival in Wellington, New Zealand, on the weekend of 22–23 March 2008. The festival also included fellow legendary rockers Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Whitesnake, and Finnish hard rock act Lordi.[25]
Poison played at the Sweden rock festival 2008.[26] Sebastian Bach is slated to be the opening act on this Summer's 2008 Poison tour, also featuring Dokken.
On 28 March that year Rikki Rockett was arrested on suspicion of rape in Los Angeles after getting off a flight from New Zealand. According to police reports, a woman in Neshoba County, MS, filed a report stating that on 23 September 2007, Rockett sexually assaulted her in his room at the Silver Star Hotel & Casino located on a Choctaw Indian reservation.[27] Rocket was exonerated of all charges on 22 May as it was discovered that he was not in Mississippi during the time of the alleged rape, and that a man by the name of John Minskoff used Rockett's name when he met the woman before raping her.[28]
Bret Michaels also starred in Rock of Love with Bret Michaels (season 2). Both seasons were successful and led to a solo compilation album which featured a few new singles heard on the series, including the theme song Go That Far, Fallen (both of which featured music videos) and Start Again. The album was titled Rock My World and was released in June 2008. The album charted at #40 on The Billboard 200, #4 on the Top Independent Albums, #4 on the Top Hard Rock Albums and #16 on the Top Rock Albums chart.[29]
Poison live in concert DVD titled "Live, Raw & Uncut" was released on Tuesday, 15 July 2008, was filmed in St. Louis, Missouri during the Poison'd tour in 2007. This DVD/CD set will be initially exclusive to Best Buy stores and will include behind-the-scenes footage as a bonus feature as well as a live audio CD with selections from the concert. It sold around 2,400 copies in its first week of release to debut at position No. 8 on Billboard's Top Music Videos chart.[30]
Also in 2008 a live CD version of the Poison DVD "Seven Days Live" was released. "Nothing But a Good Time" featured in the 2009 film The Rocker.
In 2009, Bret Michaels starred in the third installment of Rock of Love called "Rock of Love Bus", featuring a music video with clips from the series for the new single "Driven (Rock Mix)" and a Poison box set was also released, consisting of 3 Cd's of music from 1986 - 2000. On 14 January 2009, Bret Michaels unveiled plans to team up with fellow rockers Def Leppard for a summer 2009 tour - ending a bitter feud between the two groups, plus Cheap Trick.[citation needed]
On 7 June 2009, Poison made a special appearance at the 63rd Tony Awards, performing "Nothin' But a Good Time" with the cast of Rock of Ages, which features "Nothin' But a Good Time" as a song in the show. As Bret Michaels was exiting the stage, he was struck in the head by a descending set piece and knocked to the ground. He suffered a fractured nose and a split lip requiring three stitches.[31]
On 23 June 2009, Poison kicked off their 42-city Summer 2009 tour in Camden, NJ with Def Leppard and Cheap Trick.[32]

In 2010, Bret Michaels started his solo tour "Roses & Thorns" to promote the upcoming release of his autobiography.
On 12 April 2010, Bret Michaels was rushed to the hospital after suffering intense stomach pains, and an emergency appendectomy was performed.[33] On 22 April 2010, Michaels was again rushed to the hospital, this time with an "excruciating" headache. Doctors discovered that he had suffered a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage.[34] He was in critical condition,[35][36] and while some reports suggested that his condition had stabilized,[37] others later stated that this was premature.[38] On 28 April, Michael's representatives reported that he was conscious and speaking, albeit slowly, for the first time since he was hospitalized.[39]
In a news conference on 5 May 2010, Dr. Joseph Zabramski said Michaels has been released from the hospital and that "He's just one of those lucky people" and that "he'll make a complete recovery".[40]
Since being released from the hospital Michaels has stated that he is contemplating marriage with the mother of his two children with whom he has recently reconciled.[41] In an interview with People magazine,[42] he stated:
| “ | As painful as this experience has been, I was given a second chance, right? I don't want to sit around every night worrying this is going to happen again. What I want to do is make a positive bucket list and say, 'I'm just gonna go for it.' There's just so much more I want to do and experience. [Getting married], for sure, is something I have never done. Kristi's such a great person. We'll see if that happens. But yes, that may be one of the big things on the list. My first goal is to get back (to) 100 percent. I want to continue to rock the world, and I want to continue to love my family and be a good father. |
” |
In May 2010, Michaels was the winning contestant on the NBC reality television series Celebrity Apprentice 3[43] defeating Holly Robinson Peete in the final. On July 6 Michaels released his new solo album Custom Built, which includes the singles "Wasted Time", "Lie to Me" and "Nothing to Lose" (featuring Miley Cyrus). The album is Michaels highest charting solo album to date peaking at #1 on both the Top Independent Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums chart and also charting at #4 on the Top Rock Albums and #14 on The Billboard 200.[44] The album also includes the song "Riding Against the Wind", which features a music video and is the theme song for his new reality Docu-series "Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It", which officially premiered on VH1 on Oct. 18, 2010.[45]
In November 2010, a double cd package titled "Nothin' But A Good Time: The Poison Collection" was released which includes one compilation album (The Best of Poison: 20 Years of Rock) and one live album (Swallow This Live - single disc edition).
On March 1, Poison announced a 2011 Summer tour with Motley Crue and New York Dolls to celebrate Poison's 25th anniversary and Motley Crue's 30th Anniversary named the Glam-A-Gaddeon.[46] Also for Poison's 25th Anniversary, 35 of the multi-platinum band's top hits and fan favorites have been gathered for "Poison - Double Dose: Ultimate Hits", a new career-spanning 2CD and digital collection to be released May 3, 2011 by Capitol/EMI.[47]

Two shows, one on Broadway and one Off-Broadway, have featured music from Poison in their productions: Rock of Ages and Power Balladz. Both shows use the song "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", while the former also features "Nothin' but a Good Time".
Television[link]
In "Auditions" of the hit series Glee, Chord Overstreet sang a few bars (a capella) of "Every Rose Has Its Thorn".
On The Simpsons season 11 episode "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge", Otto plays "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" on a stereo while proposing to his girlfriend, Becky. At their wedding, he hires a Poison tribute band to play "Nothin' but a Good Time".
The song "Talk Dirty to Me" is heard in the Season One episode of Scrubs entitled "My Heavy Meddle" where a coma patient requests that the song be played in his room at least once every day, to the annoyance of Dr. Kelso.
