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, pick your poison. 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. END
