[Verse 1]
My first sip made me gag and I thought I was gonna blow beets,
But I took another and pretty soon brother, sour mash 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.
[Verse 2]
Ruby lips hid a razor tongue and heart, blue as glacier mice,
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 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.
Pick your poison, poison, pick your poison.
