Sam Dees, "Signed Miss Heroin".... the whole lyric reads so powerfully, and even more so against the music backdrop, here's the complete lyrics........
Well, now little man, you've grown tired of grass,
L.S.D., Acid, cocaine, and hash.
Somebody that's supposed to be your so called friend,
said, "I'll introduce you to Miss Heroin."
Well, honey, before you start fooling with me,
Just let me inform you of how it will be.
For I will seduce ya and make you my slave.
I've sent men much stronger than you to their grave.
You think you could not become a disgrace,
and end up addicted to poppy seed waste.
So, you'll start inhaling me one afternoon.
You'll take me into your arm and very soon.
And once I have entered deep down in your vein,
The craving will nearly drive you insane.
You'll need lots of money (as you have been told).
For, darling, I'm much more expensive than gold.
Signed Miss Heroin
You'll swindle your Mama; and, just for a buck,
you'll turn into something vile and corrupt.
You'll mug, you'll steal for my narcotic charm.
and feel contentment when I'm in you arms.
The day you realize the monster you've grown,
you'll solemnly promise to leave me alone.
If you think that you've got the mystical knack.
Then sweetie, just try getting me off your back.
Signed Miss Heroin
The vomit, the cramps, your gut tied in a knot.
The jangling nerves screaming for just one more shot.
The hot chills,cold sweat, the withdrawal pains,
can only be saved by my little white grains.
There's no other way, and there's no need to look.
For deep down inside you, you will know that you're hooked.
You'll desperately run to the pusher, and then
You'll welcome me back to your arms once again.
And when you return, just as I foretold!
I know that you'll give me your body and soul.
You'll give up your morals, your conscience, your heart,
and you will be mine until Death Do Us Part.
Signed Miss Heroin
Say! you're holding the losing hand,
and you just can't win.
Smoking dope aint nothing but a sin.
The faith in you, that they had in you brother!
What will you do now?
Steve
