Date with a Needle

I got a date with a needle

Outside Allen's pharmacy

I had a fight with my ego

The pain is growing constantly and

I signed a deal with the devil

He took away my misery

I got a date with a needle

Outside

Now all my friends are drunks and half the time I'm

stoned

I tried to call my man but he won't pick up the phone

And if I go to Mickey Mouse he's gonna nail me to the

cops

I might live down the drain but I don't hang out with

rats

I work half of my days (that's right)

And what I'm trying to say

Is that I'm floating more than swimming

If this is reality I'd rather be daydreaming

Now I can't even walk in my neighborhood

There are cops on every corner

Why won't they leave me alone?

Always straight pulling me over

Now there's this suit across the street

Keeping his eye on me

Parks his car outside my door

I wish I could smash his face on the floor

There's this woman living right next door

Always on about something or other

But what she doesn't know

I was selling drugs to her daughter

But I'm not gonna take it no more
