Poison Was the Cure Rust in Peace: Live by Megadeth Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
I miss the warm embrace I felt
First time you touched me
Secure and safe in open arms
I should have known you'd crush me
A snake you were when we met
I loved you anyway
Pulling out your poison fangs
The venom never goes away
Serpent swims free in my blood
Dragons sleeping in my veins
Jackyl speaking with my tongue
Roach egg laying in my brain

[Verse 2]
Once stalked beneath your shadow
Sleepwalking to the gallows
I'm the sun that beats your brow in
'Til I finally threw the towel in
Never knowing if I'd wake up
In a whirlpool, got redundant
My brain was just some driftwood
In a cesspool, I became dead
From a rockstar to a desk fool
Was my destiny, someone said
Love's a tide pool
Taste the water, life's abundant
Taste me!
[Instrumental Outro]
