[Chorus:]
Finger-licking good
Like a good poison should be
Someone once said all the good times give you cancer
I’ve known the bad times to leave the best struggling for answers
I’ve been broke as shit, down on my luck a bit
But the way you’ve got me feeling, I just can’t resist
Cupid hit my heart with a poison-tipped arrow
So I’m willing to overlook the obvious incidentals
I know something like this could drive me mental
But I’m through with being careful even if you’re the devil
You’ve been there for me through the thick and the thin
You play the part of my nemesis and my best friend
You are the lover I don’t have to love, but I do it anyways
Because you’ve passed through this barrier to get to my brain
You lay me up on the couch and just have your way
I’m stuck in your haze for days upon days drifting away
You’re the medicine that sedates all of this pain
Well, for a couple hours anyway
[Chorus] (x2)
I’m a street walking cheetah with a capital A
You’d think by now I’d have learned to play through the pain
One day this world is gonna know me by name
These bad habits make for good memories today
But tomorrow is another story, morning wood, morning glory
Wake up in someone else’s bed, her underwear is on my head
How’d it get there and how in the hell did I get here?
Before she wakes up I’ve already disappeared
And I’m prescribed these pills so it’s way different now
I’m not abusing them but damn do they level me out
Just what the doctor ordered, those damn legal drug dealers
My addiction is rearing its ugly head again I fear
I’ve got to be more careful, one bad step and I can slip
Rediscovered my tendency for questionable decisions
My aim isn’t what it used to be, I’ve lost precision
Hopefully this downward spiral ends before it begins
[Chorus] (x2)
Oh, you taste so good
Like a good poison should
Oh, you taste so sweet
Please get inside of me
[Chorus] (x2)
