 MIKE NESS - Dope Fiend Blues Lyrics

.5"231715h5263m""23l

.5"231715h5263m""23l
In a police car I feel so very small
.5"231715h5263m""23l
I see my lover's face and I watch her teardrops fall
.5"231715h5263m""23l
And I try to figure out where I'd fallen off the track
.5"231715h5263m""23l
I sold my soul to the devil and then I stole it back
.5"231715h5263m""23l

.5"231715h5263m""23l
Chorus
.5"231715h5263m""23l
And in the end, you know a dope fiend ain't got no friends
.5"231715h5263m""23l
And a junkie is a junkie to the bitter end
.5"231715h5263m""23l
Hope to die now, cuz you know I'm better off dead
.5"231715h5263m""23l
Hey brother, won't you lend me a helpin' hand?
.5"231715h5263m""23l

.5"231715h5263m""23l
I tie myself off, shoot it in my veins
.5"231715h5263m""23l
I feel like Marlon Brando and I've hid another day's pain
.5"231715h5263m""23l
I'm goin' back where it's safe, goin' back to the womb
.5"231715h5263m""23l
I find my mother's comfort, here in a needle and spoon
.5"231715h5263m""23l

.5"231715h5263m""23l
Chorus
.5"231715h5263m""23l
And Christmas for a dope fiend ain't no fun
.5"231715h5263m""23l
Waitin' for good times that seem to never come
.5"231715h5263m""23l
Goin' out now, gonna get myself a gun
.5"231715h5263m""23l
Please stop me, don't you know I'm on a run?
.5"231715h5263m""23l

.5"231715h5263m""23l
Aren't you tired of the detox and the places in the mind?
.5"231715h5263m""23l
Aren't you tired of the misery, aren't you tired of doin' time?
.5"231715h5263m""23l
And I try to figure out where I'd fallen off the track
.5"231715h5263m""23l
You know I sold my soul to the devil and then I stole it back
.5"231715h5263m""23l

.5"231715h5263m""23l
Chorus
.5"231715h5263m""23l
I'm a dope fiend, I'm a liar, a cheat and a thief
.5"231715h5263m""23l
At my funeral, won't you bring me a red rose wreath?
.5"231715h5263m""23l
Dress in black now, show everyone your grief
.5"231715h5263m""23l
Well, I'm gone now, you can all feel relief!
.5"231715h5263m""23l
