Junkie

I need some junk
To shoot in my vein
Would you give me some
To relieve the pain?
These city streets
Are drivin' me insane
I tried laundry detergent
But it's not the same
I need some food
To stuff in my face
But the garbage man
He took the trash away
These city streets
Are makin' me crazy
I tried to eat rocks
But they have no taste
My face is a wreck
My brain's decayed
I need a fix 'n I'll be OK
These city streets
Are makin' me crazy
I'm chewing on glass but I
Don't even bleed
I don't even bleed
I don't even bleed
I don't even bleed
I'll pray tonight
To the king of kings
Won't you pull me out
I'd rehabilitate those city streets
You know I can't keep straight
Will I murder somebody?
Well ya can't fool fate
Ya can't fool fate
Ya can't fool fate
No, you can't fool fate
I need some help, I need some help,
I'm falling apart
Will I die in my sleep
Or will I live in the streets
In agony?
