Verse 1
In a Fmpolice car I feel so very small
I Ebsee my lover's face and I Bbwatch her teardrops Fmfall
And I Fmtry to figure out where I'd fallen off the track
I Ebsold my soul to the devil and Bbthen I stole it Fmback
Chorus 1
And in the Bbend, you know a Abdope fiend ain't got no Fmfriends
And a Bbjunkie is a Abjunkie to the bitter Fmend
Hope to Bbdie now, 'cause you Abknow I'm better off Fmdead
Hey Bbbrother, won't you Ablend me a helpin' Fmhand?
Verse 2
I tie myself off, shoot it in my veins
I feel like marlon brando and I've hid another day's pain
I'm goin' back where it's safe, goin' back to the womb
I find my mother's comfort, here in a needle and spoon
Chorus 2
And christmas for a dope fiend ain't no fun
Waitin' for good times that seem to never come
Goin' out now, gonna get myself a gun
Please stop me, don't you know I'm on a run?
(Solo)
Verse 3
Aren't you tired of the detox and the places in the mind?
Aren't you tired of the misery, aren't you tired of doin' time?
And I try to figure out where I'd fallen off the track
You know I sold my soul to the devil and then I stole it back
Chorus 3
I'm a dope fiend, I'm a liar, a cheat and a thief
At my funeral, won't you bring me a red rose wreath?
Dress in black now, show everyone your grief
Well, I'm gone now, you can all feel relief!
