Ladies and Fellow Lady This is James
I wanna to you about one of our Most deadly, killers in the today I had a dream the night, and I Was sittin' in my room
Dozed off to So I start to I I walked in a place and I saw a real strange, object
Standin' up to the people And I out it was heroin That deadly drug that go in veins He
I came to this without a passport since then I've been hunted and sought My little grains are nothin' but waste and deadly and bitter to taste
I'm a world of and all know it's true Use me once and you'll it, too I can a mere schoolboy forget his books I can a world-famous beauty neglect her looks
I can make a good man his wife Send a greedy man to prison for the of his life I can a man forsake his country and flag Make a girl her body for a five-dollar bag
Some think my a joy and a thrill But put a gun in your hand and make you kill In cellophane bags, found my way To heads of and children at play
I'm financed in China, ran in I'm in Turkey and I'm legal in Siam I my addicts and make 'em steal, borrow, beg Then they for a vein in their arm or their leg
So, be you Italian, Jewish, or Mex I can make the virile of men forget their sex So now, no, my man, you must, you know, do your To keep up habit until your arrest
Now the police have taken you from my wing Do you think they dare defy me, I who am Now, you must lie in that jail I can't get to you by visit or mail
So squirm, with discomfort, wiggle and Six days of madness, you might me off me in name, defy me in speech But you'd pick me up right no if I were in reach
All through your you've become resolved to your fate Hear now young man and woman, I'll be at the gate And don't be afraid, run, I'm not chased Sure my is Heroin, you'll be back for a taste
Behold, you're hooked, foot is in the stirrup And make, haste, the steed and ride him well For the white horse of heroin will ride you to Hell, to Will ride you to Hell you are dead Dead, brother,
is a revolution of the mind Get your together And get from drugs the man Back,
