Lyrics:

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, you call it poison but I call it rock and roll.'

A change of style, felt so out of place
Got myself a suntan and a facelift for my face
Down to the cat house, cruising in L.A.
Found myself a pretty girl with nothing much to say

Her conversation's like she comes from outer space
Got legs and long har but I couldn't see her face
And she said, '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, you call it poison but I call it rock and roll.'
