[Intro]
Took a Greyhound Bus down to Heartattack and Vine
With a fistful of dreams and dimes
So far out, didn't know that I was in
Had a taste for a life of slime

[Verse 1]
When push came to shove, the music was the drug
And the band always got to play
Sex, smack, rock, roll, mainline, overdose
Man, we lived it night and day

[Pre-Chorus]
We loved 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

[Chorus]
Pretty little poison apples
See the scars tattooed on our face
It's your disgrace
Oh, yeah
Pretty little poison apples
Mama said, "Now, don't you walk this way
Just find some faith"
[Verse 2]
Tabloid sleaze, just maggots on their knees
And diggin' in the dirt for slag
Moonshine, strychnine, speedball, shootin' lines
Anything to push their rags

[Pre-Chorus]
Still, we love our Mott The Hoople, it keeps us all so enraged
And you love us then you hate us then you love us
We're so fucking beautiful

[Chorus]
Pretty little poison apples
See the scars tattooed on our face, whoo
It's your disgrace
Come on, let me see them little poison apples
Pretty, pretty poison apples
Mama said, "Now, don't you walk this way
Just find some faith"

[Bridge]
Blueprints for disaster (Hey, hey)
You better not push me because I'll bring you to your knees
Ooh, to your knees
Blueprints for disaster (Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma)
You better not love me 'cause I'll bring you to your knees
Mama, to your knees
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Pretty little poison apples
Mama said, "Now don't you walk this way
Just find your faith, faith, the faith, yeah"

[Outro]
Pretty little poison apples
Pretty, pretty poison apples
