Call It Poison

Woke up this morning

And I couldn't get out of bed

Felt like this heavy band

Were playing in my head

They were screaming through the ceiling

Screaming through the walls

Stealing all my photographs

And laughing at them all

I phoned the man at work

And this is what I said

I woke up this morning

And I couldn't get out of bed

And I said

Oh, oh you call it poison

But I call it rock and roll

A change of style

Felt out of place

Got myself a suntan

And a facelift for my face

Down to the cat house

Cruising in LA

Found myself a pretty girl

With nothing much to say

Her conversation's

Like she comes from outer space

Got legs and long hair

But I couldn't see her face

And she said

Oh, oh you call it poison

But I call it rock and roll

It takes an hour

Back combing my hair

Chilling out on heavy grass

And picking clothes to wear

Look in the mirror

Walk out on the street

Bump into a policeman

I didn't expect to meet

He said to me

Hey, are you some kind of red

It looks to me son

Like you just got out of bed

And I said

Oh, oh you call it poison

But I call it rock and roll
