Shirley's On Methadone

Shirley's on methadone She's through with the syringe Shirley's on methadone She's off of heroin One two three four Shirley is doing well We're glad to have her home She slept in vomit Now she sleeps on methadone But she stopped ripping off her neighbors Stopped taking change from strangers Stopped shooting needles full of dreams Into her arms Shirley's on methadone We see it in her eyes Sounds so much better But it's just another high But she stopped calling at three thirty Stopped looking thin and dirty Stopped screaming bloody murder When she got cut off Hey So why don't you stop with your fake solutions? Stop covering up the truth And stop trying to make things smooth And stop acting like she's stupid Shirley's on methadone [x4]
