The Sunset of Miss Heroin

So, now Little Man, You've grown tired of grass,
LSD, goof balls, cocaine and hash
And someone pretending to be a true 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 you and make you my slave
I've sent much stronger than you to their graves.
You think you could never become a disgrace
And end up addicted to poppy seed waste.
So you'll start inhaling me one afternoon
Then you'll take me into your arms very soon.
Once I have entered down deep in your veins
My cravings will nearly drive you insane.
You'll need lots of money, as you have been told
My darling, I'm much more expensive than gold.
You'll swindle your mother, and just for a buck
You'll turn into being vile and corrupt.
Then you'll mug and you'll steal for my narcotic charm
And you'll feel contentment when I'm in your arms.
On the day that you realize the monster you've grown
You solemnly promise to leave me alone.
If you think that you have that mystical knack
Then sweetie, just try getting me off your back!
First you vomit, then the cramps, your gut tied in a knot
Your jangling nerves scream for just one more shot.
The cold chills and hot sweats, 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 you are 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 have fortold,
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 till death do us part.
