Ladies and Americans Lady This is James
I talk to you about one of our deadly, killers in the country today I had a the other night, and I Was sittin' in my living
off to sleep So I to dreamin' I dreamed I in a place and I saw a real strange, weird
Standin' up talkin' to the And I out it was heroin That deadly drug that go in veins He
I came to country without a passport Ever since then I've been hunted and My little white grains are nothin' but Soft and deadly and bitter to
I'm a world of power and all it's true Use me once and you'll it, too I can make a mere forget his books I can a world-famous beauty neglect her looks
I can a good man forsake his wife Send a greedy man to prison for the rest of his I can make a man forsake his country and a girl sell 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 cellophane bags, found my way To heads of and children at play
I'm financed in China, ran in I'm respected in Turkey and I'm legal in I take my and make 'em steal, borrow, beg Then they search for a vein in 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 your until your arrest
Now the police have taken you from my wing Do you think they dare me, I who am king Now, you lie in that county jail I can't get to you by visit or mail
So squirm, discomfort, wiggle and cough Six days of madness, you throw me off me in name, defy me in speech But you'd pick me up right no if I in your reach
All through your you've become resolved to your fate Hear now young man and woman, I'll be 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, hooked, your foot is in the stirrup And make, haste, the steed and ride him well For the white horse of will ride you to Hell, to Hell Will ride you to until you are dead Dead, brother,
This is a of the mind Get your together And get from drugs the man Back,
