Heroin

John Frusciante

Oh Heroin, heroin

And cocaine, cocaine

Well I loved them both



But they took my life, they took my friends

They won't give em back, but I want em back

Oh give em back now



And what has it got me

Just some teeth I can't chew

my favourite cereal with



Oh being cool, and looking good

Keith Richards and Lenny Bruce

And all of them, well I give up



Sometimes I get sad, or I'll get mad

About where I should be, and where I am

Don't wanna go back



And where has it got me

but five years older now

Washing dishes in a restaurant



Well my friend Robert, he can't stop

His teeth are falling out

And he's living at his mom's

And its no fun



I guess I'm lucky I'm alive, yea I'm lucky I'm alive

Coz I should be dead, well I have been dead

But I'm not now, no



But what has it got me

Just some teeth I can't chew

my favourite cereal with



Yea where has it got me

but five years older now

Working in a fucking restaurant



Oh Heroin, heroin

And cocaine, cocaine

Well I loved them both
