Junkie 4 Love
I am wasted and all strung out,
Don’t have the voice to shout,
The lonesome blues have gotten to me,
I am hooked on you - can’t you see,
It’s an addiction - a terminal infection,
I need a shot of you - a lethal injection,
My slow burning fuse is about to ignite,
I just can’t find the strength to fight,
Climbing the walls as they close in,
It’s my punishment - it’s my sin,
My body is shaking like a sheer heart attack,
Rivers of sweat are running down my back,
Rehabilitation won’t help save my soul,
Nowhere to hide - I’m out of control,
From the get-go everything was funky,
Now all I am is a lost love junkie,
Why did you have to get so close?
Just one more fix and I will overdose,
I am wasted and more dead than alive,
Don’t have no more reason to survive,
The lonesome blues are driving me insane,
I am hooked on you - can’t you feel my pain,
It’s an addiction - a terminal infection,
I need a shot of you - a lethal injection.

Tom,
As guy who`s son once had to patiently
explain to him the Bing Crosby`s `you`re getting to be a habit with me` was really about drugs, can I say that you`ve got me thinking.
