Charlie's Medicine

Charlie dealt in pharmaceuticals

Charlie used to sell me pills

Yesterday his sister called to tell me

He'd been killed

Some respectable doctor from Beverly Hills

Shot him through the heart

Charlie didn't feel a thing

Neither of them did

Poor kid

Charlie dealt in pharmaceuticals

He sold those expensive drugs

I gave Charlie all my money

What the hell was I thinking of?

Charlie had to take his medicine

Charlie got his prescription filled

I came to say goodbye

I'm sorry Charlie died

I came to finish paying my bill

I came to finish paying my bill

I came to finish paying my bill

I came to finish paying my bill

Charlie dealt in pharmaceuticals

Charlie used to sell me pills

Yesterday his sister called to tell me

He'd been killed

Charlie had to take his medicine

Charlie got his prescription filled

I came to say goodbye

I'm sorry Charlie died

I came to finish paying my bill

I came to finish paying my bill

I came to finish paying my bill

I came to finish paying my bill
