Deep

One happy pill, two in arms reach If we're in need, then we'll get through One and out for blood on the street I always blame it on that dirty street I'm just a number hooked to a needle Filled up with another man's pain Love is such a comforting sound I hear it in the night Hope she didn't leave me here to dry I'm so glad that I have you Staring at the love in your eyes But this world is killing me with lies It's a lie, it's just another lie Angina, capillaries burst Your hearts don't beat without my heroin Hooked on the needle all over your bones You get one to slow you, one to stop Sold your soul for the kick of the needle in a warm embrace of pain Now I'm in hell I'm in the fire All my dreams seem dead to me I can't stop this feeling anymore I can't shake this urge, yeah I'm feeling free And I don't want to cry, oh no And all the people that I used to love now they're staring at me with hate in their eyes
