INTO HEROIN

By Dany Hearn

I would not say – you were painfully thin
But when you turn full profile – honey, the sun gets in
I would not say – I don’t love you now
But when I see you on the streets all beat up – I have to ask myself how
You got in – to heroin I mean down – down – down – down – down

So good to be – back on the streets again
So good to be – back on my feet again
I’m alright now – have you got a cigarette? 
We T.V. kids got our act together
We left a little blood on the tracks back there
But it’s no big deal tho’ you know, man, is it? 
Have you got a cigarette? Have you got a cigarette?

And you remember how we used to score on Friday night
Sit talking nothing but the truth ‘til early light? 
Man! Those amphetamines! But what a come down! 

But the biggest hit of all was the horse
Hey, how come now man you went and altered course
Oh, now, but it’s so good to see you man
How long you back in town? 
Have you got a cigarette? Have you got a cigarette? 

And you remember Johnny, man, that played the oboe
Let me tell you, man, he went and took an overdose
Oh, man, you would not believe some of the shit that goes down
Have you got a cigarette? 
Have you got a cigarette?
