Slow Poison
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You say you like it
The way your living
You say you love it
The things you’re doing
Drinking whiskey
Snorting coke
The hangman has you
Has you on his rope
Your life is a party
You say you’re having a ball
But you hide from the answer
You know you’re missing it all
Slow poison
You’re wasting away
Disillusioned
You’ve been led astray
Slow poison
Believing a lie
Are you happy
Living from one high to high
Life ain’t easy
It’s no free ride
Your only answer
You go get high
You feel the heartache
You feel the pain
You can’t escape
So you fry your brain
Ain’t it a shame
You can’t stay high forever
Sometime you’ll have to come
Down what will you find there
When your feet touch the ground
Slow poison
You’re wasting away
Disillusioned
You’ve been led astray
Slow poison
Believing a lie
Are you happy
Living from one high to high
You waste all your money
All you have
On a feeling
That won’t last
Can’t you see you’re just hiding
You’re just running away
Living scare you
So you try to escape
You can’t escape
Slow poison
You’re wasting away
Disillusioned
You’ve been led astray
Slow poison
Believing a lie
Are you happy
Living from one high to high
