Alice Cooper – Poison Lyrics 11 years ago
this song is obviously about heroin..let me break down the lyrics for you... here goes!

1.you cruel device= your needle.
your blood like ice= how it feels when the heroin is in your veins.
one look could kill= metaphor for how strong of a drug it is.
my pain your thrill= how the drug loves to see you hurting for more of it.


2.i want to love you but i better not touch= he wants it but it's too addictive.
i want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop= once again too addictive.
i want to kiss you but i want it too much= the cravings for it is too much.
i want to taste you but your lips are venomous posion=too addictive once again.
your poison running through my veins= obviously a reference to shooting up.
i don't wanna break these chains= he doesn't want to stop even though his addicting is chaining him down.

3.Your mouth, so hot= you start getting hot before you get your fix of dope.
Your web, I'm caught= he's strung out and caught up in the drug.
Your skin, so wet= talking about how to heroin is wet when it's in the spoon.
Black lace, on sweat= black lace is a metaphor for heroin and he's talking about sweating from anticipating his next shot.

4.I hear you calling and it's needles and pins= needles and pins are what you get when you do a shot of dope that is really good. also called "a rush"
I want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name=self explanatory.
Don't want to touch you but you're under my skin= dont want it but it's too late to stop because he is already addicted and the needle is under his skin.
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison= the drug is poision.
You're poison, running through my veins= obviously talking about heroin in his veins.
