Codeine

Lyrics

Got an ache in my belly, got a craving in my head I feel like I'm dying, and I wish I was dead If I live 'til tomorrow, it'll be a long time And I'll rise, and I'll fall, and I'll die on cod'ine And it's real, and it's real One more time When I was a young boy, I learned not to care By whiskey and frolic I often did swear Now my mother and father said that whiskey's a curse But the fate of their baby was a million times worse And it's real, yes, it's real One more time [Guitar solo] Stay away from the city, stay away from the town Stay away from the man pushing cod'ine around Stay away from the stores where the remedies you'll find For better your pain than to die on cod'ine And it's real, yeah, it's real One more time It's real, yeah, it's real One more time It's real, and it's real One more time
