Took a Greyhound bus down Heart Attack and Vine

With a fistful of dreams and dimes

So far out I didn't know that I was in

Had a taste for a life of slime

When push came to shove

Music was the drug

And the band always got to play

Sex, smack, rock, roll, mainline, overdose

Man, we lived it night and day

We love our mott the hoople

It kept us all so enraged

And you loved us, and you loved us, and you loved us

We're so fucking beautiful

Pretty little poison apples

See the scars tattooed on our face

It's our disgrace

Pretty little poison apples

Mama said now don't ya walk this way

Just find some faith

Tabloid sleaze just maggots on their knees

Diggin' in the dirt for slag

Moonshine, strychnine, speedball, shootin' lines

Anything to push their rags

Still we love our mott the hoople

It keeps us so enraged

And you love us, then you hate us, then you love us

We're so fucking beautiful

Pretty little poison apples

See the scars tattooed on our face

It's your disgrace

Pretty little poison apples

Mama said now don't you walk this way

Just find some faith

Blueprints for disaster

Better not push me cause I'll bring you to your knees

Blueprints for disaster

Better not love me cause I'll bring you to your knees

Pretty little poison apples
