poison was the cure

megadeth in rust and peace albümündeki aşmış şarkılardan biri.şarkıdaki aksak ritmi tutturmak zordur.hem çalıp hem söylemek ise imkansıza yakındır.

şarkının tarzına country-trash diyebiliriz resmen.

i miss the warm embrace i felt
first time you touched me
secure and safe in open arms
i should have known youd crush me
a snake you were when we met
i loved you anyway
pulling out your poisoned fangs
the venom never goes away
serpent swims free in my blood
dragons sleeping in my veins
jacky| speaking with tongue
roach egg laying in my brain
once stalked beneath your shadow
sleepwalking to the gallows
im the sun that beats your brow in
til i finally threw the towel
never knowing if id wake up in a
whirlpool got redundant
my brain was just some driftwood
in a cesspool i became dead
]from a rock star to a desk fool
was my destiny someone said
loves a tidepool
taste the waters lifes abundant
taste me

marty friedman solonun bir kısmında öyle bir sweep yapar ki aklınızı kaybedersiniz.

bu şarkı konserlerde hiç çalınmamıştır.hayvaniliğinden midir bilinmez.
