This is part of the “5/5 challenge” on a FB group in on. Write 5 songs in 5 days. Essentially the girl running the group posts a prompt each morning and you write a song based on the prompt. Today the prompt was just a title…‘pretty poison’
So this is a one day special. I wrote the lyrics at work then did the rest of it after work.
Mainly I guess you can bash the song itself since I wouldnt even call this a mix lol. matter of fact the whole thing is thrown together as one would expect for something done in one day after working 8 hrs hehe.
Bash the vox too…i really freaking struggled as usual
The best part of it is I got my Mick Ralphs guitar vibrato on lol
Good practice though and I guess that was the whole point of the challenge in the first place

Well they took you to the picture show, when you were just a child
Flashing lights moving to and fro, it really drove you wild

Then you told your dear sweet momma, you said “thats the life for me!”
I’m gonna shine on the silver screen, for all eternity
and Momma said, baby girl take it easy when you go to feed your pride
It might taste sweet when it’s going down, but it’s gonna be bitter on the inside

What good is pretty poison, running through your veins?
It calls you soft and sweet…but it kills you just the same
What good is pretty poison?

Did he take you to the temple, and promise you the world?
oh He made it sound so simple, if you would be his girl
Everything that you ever wanted, right there at your fingertips
So you signed your name on the dotted line, and you kissed those poison lips

What good is pretty poison, running through your veins?
It calls you soft and sweet…but it kills you just the same
What good is pretty poison?

As you lay there dying, you tell yourself this is only part of the game
While your body’s still warm, they moved on, and no they won’t remember your name
