Heroin Again

Losing your joy

Playing with dangerous toys

Insulate yourself from life

And all of its big noise

Insinuate a fever dream

Instigate a requiem

A deafening explosion of shame

An orgasm inside your brain

Silly young man

Why you using heroin?

Thought you knew better than that

Thought you knew better than that

Beautiful lost girl

You turned your back on this mean street world

Taste of heaven some part of you dies

'Til you're something you can't recognize

Raised to know better thing

Dying using heroin

A judgement discrepancy

Cutting life expectancy

I thought you knew better than that

Thought you knew better than that

I thought you knew better than that

Didn't '71 teach us anything?

Didn't '94 teach us anything?

It's called to me and tempted me

Never quite captured me

Always just turned away

I've lost so many friends that way

Missing my friends who died using heroin

I thought they knew better than that

I thought they knew better than that

I thought they knew better than that

I thought they knew better than that

I thought you knew better than that

I thought you knew better than that
