Lyrics One Way Track Marks - Hellbound Glory

One Way Track Marks

He started off on Oxycontin and moved on to black tar heroin
We thought he only smoked it, and only every now and then
But when he wore that t-shirt we saw he had taken it too far
There was no turnin' back: we saw the one-way track marks on his arms
They say heroin’s a lady with legs that reach up to the sky
And an ass like molasses so sweet a man’d follow 'til he died
But I never thought I’d see the day a friend would fall victim to her charms
There was no turnin' back: we saw the one-way track marks on his arms
Today they laid him in a coffin and the pastor said «He's in God’s arms again»
But he’d already been there 'cause junkies just bring heaven down to them
Well I hope the angels up there can hold him and heal all his scars
And with their sweet and gentle ways they’ll erase the one-way track marks on
his arms
