Ladies and Americans Lady This is James
I talk to you about one of our Most deadly, killers in the country I had a dream the night, and I Was sittin' in my room
off to sleep So I to dreamin' I dreamed I in a place and I saw a strange, weird object
Standin' up talkin' to the And I found out it was deadly drug that go in your veins He
I came to country without a passport Ever since then I've been and sought My little white grains are nothin' but Soft and and bitter to taste
I'm a of power and all know it's true Use me once and you'll it, too I can make a mere schoolboy his books I can make a world-famous beauty neglect her
I can make a man forsake his wife Send a greedy man to for the rest of his life I can make a man his country and flag Make a girl her body for a five-dollar bag
Some think my adventure's a joy and a But I'll put a gun in your hand and you kill In bags, I've found my way To heads of and children at play
I'm in China, ran in Japan I'm respected in Turkey and I'm in Siam I take my and make 'em steal, borrow, beg Then they search for a in their arm or their leg
So, be you Italian, Jewish, or Mex I can make the most virile of men forget sex So now, no, my man, you must, you know, do your To keep up your until your arrest
Now the police taken you from under my wing Do you think dare defy me, I who am king Now, you lie in that county jail Where I get to you by visit or mail
So squirm, with discomfort, wiggle and Six days of madness, you might me off Curse me in name, me in speech But you'd pick me up right no if I were in reach
All through your sentence you've become resolved to fate Hear now young man and woman, be waitin' at the gate And be afraid, don't run, I'm not chased Sure my name is Heroin, you'll be for a taste
Behold, you're hooked, your is in the stirrup And make, haste, mount the and ride him well For the white horse of will ride you to Hell, to Hell Will you to Hell until you are dead Dead, brother,
is a revolution of the mind Get your mind And get away from the man Back,
