Whiskey bottles and brand new cars
Oak tree, you're in my way
There's too much Coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you
Oo-oo that smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Oo-oo that smell
The smell of death's around you (yeah)
Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm (you, fool, you)
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
One more drink, fool, will drown you (hell, yeah)
Oo-oo that Smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Oo-oo that smell
The smell of death's around you
Now they call you Prince Charming
Can't speak a word when you're full of ludes
Say you'll be alright come tomorrow
But, tomorrow might not be here for you (yeah, you)
Oo-oo that Smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Oo-oo that smell
The smell of death's around you
(Aw, you're a fool you, ahh
Don't stickin' them needles in your arm)
(I know I've been here before)
One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, Lord, might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks (hell yeah)
Oo-oo that Smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Oo-oo that smell
The smell of death's around you
(Hey, you're a fool, you, aww
Don't stick those needles in your arm)
(Yeah, just a fool, just a fool, com' on)
