35. Lady Heroin

36. So now little man, you've grown tired of grass, Amphetamines, acid, downers & hash, Let me introduce you to Lady Heroin... Well honey before you star fooling with me, Just let me inform you of how it will be, I will seduce you and make you my slave, I've sent much stronger than you to the grave. You think you could never become a discrace, and end up addicted to my poppy seed waste. You'll need lots of money just like you've been told, 'Cos Darling I'm much more expensive than gold. So you'll start to inhale me one afternoon, Take me in your arm the beginning of doom, And once I have entered deep down in your vein, Your life will never again be the same. I'm expensive and dangerous, and love to live fast, That feeling I give you it will never last.

37. You'll swindle your mother just for a buck, You'll turn into something vile and corrupt. You'll rob and you'll steal for my narcotic charms, And you'll only find peace when I'm there in your arms. When you realise the monster into which you've grown, You'll solemly pledge to leave me only, You nay think you've got that mystical knock, Well honey just try getting me off your back, The vomits, the cramps, your guts tied in knots, Your trembling nerves screaming for those needed shots, The hot sweats, the cold chills, the withdrawal pains, Can only be cured by my little brown grains. Theres no turning back, theres no need to look, For deep down inside you know your still hooked. You've given your morals, your conscience, your heart, Your mine now forever TILL DEATH DO US PART!
