The Junkie's Prayer |
| That bed that I lay on is narrow and cold |
| This sickness inside me tears at my soul |
| And the devil awaits me, he calls me his son |
| For he knows I’m cornered and too weak to run |
| For I soon must return to my gutter of thrills |
| Where joy is the needle or a bottle of pills |
| Where a man welcomes misery like an old friend from home |
| That he uses and abuses till the misery is gone |
| My mind’s filled with torture my body’s in pain |
| But the needle is warm as it sinks in my vein |
| Just a matter of seconds then my mind will be free |
| From the coldness and darkness that dominate me |
| But the freedom is short lived and then I’m alone |
| I must find the pusher but my money’s all gone |
| Then the cycle of horror starts over once more |
| Oh God, let me suffer this misery no more |
