Codine

My belly's shaking and I crave it in my head I feel like I'm dying and I wish I was dead If I live 'til tomorrow, it will be a long time Oh, I live out my days a slave to codine And it's real, lord it's real, one more time On the day I was born, all the grim reapers smiled Said, "I'll get you yet, you demonized child" I was older than my sisters that I left behind Oh, I ran like a wind with my friend and codine Oh, it's real, oh she's real, one more time It's the reason I breathe, honey, it's the reason I walk It's the reason I sleep and the reason I talk Hell, but soon my devotion will all be repaid Oh, the codine will kill me, that's the bargain we made And it's real, lord it's real, one more time (play) You'll forget you're a woman, you'll forget about men Try it just once, and you'll try it again You'll forget about life, you'll forget about time And you'll live out your days, a slave to codine And it's real, lord it's real, one more time Then after I'm gone and the sad race is run And I'll go down to hell, where my life had begun There'll be somebody with me, won't leave me alone Old codine will be there to polish my bones It's real, oh, he's real, one more time And after I'm gone and the morning sets in Don't wonder what I was, girl, or who I might have been Mourn my sad heart and my tear-filled eyes And the codine I crave and I despise Oh, she's real, oh, she's real, one last time She's real, oh, she's real one last time
