| My belly’s shaking and I crave it in my head
|
| I feel like I’m dying and I wish I was dead
|
| If I live till tomorrow, it’ll be a long time
|
| Oh, I live out my days a slave to Codine
|
| And it’s real, lord it’s real, one more time
|
| On the day I was born all the grim reapers smiled
|
| Said, «I'll get you yet, you demonized child»
|
| I was older than my sisters that I left behind
|
| Oh, I ran like the wind with my friend Codine
|
| Oh it’s real, oh she’s real, one more time
|
| It’s the reason I breathe, honey, it’s the reason I walk
|
| It’s the reason I sleep and the reason I talk
|
| But soon my devotion will all be repaid
|
| The codine will kill me, that’s the bargain we made
|
| And it’s real, lord it’s real, one more time
|
| You’ll forget you’re a woman, you’ll forget about men
|
| Try it just once, and you’ll try it again
|
| You’ll forget about life, you’ll forget about time
|
| And you’ll live out your days a slave to Codine
|
| And it’s real, lord it’s real, one more time
|
| And after I’m gone and the sad race is run
|
| I’ll go down to hell where my life had begun
|
| There’ll be somebody with me, won’t leave me alone
|
| Oh, Codine will be there to polish my bones
|
| And it’s real, oh he’s real, one more time
|
| And after I’m gone and the morning sets in
|
| Don’t wonder what I was girl, or what might have been
|
| Mourn my sad heart and my tear-filled eyes
|
| And the Codine I crave and I despise
|
| Oh she’s real, oh she’s real, one last time
|
| She’s real, oh she’s real one last time |
