An Addict, Not Me R Duncan I didn't choose this life This is not what I wanted to do I saw the needle I saw the spoon I thought, I'll just try a few. Not once did I stop to think That's not an easy thing to do The vein it stood proud The needle went in the drug soon flowed through. The world felt just great A couple more will do But it was too late Just another one or maybe two. I thought that'll do I wont take no more It didn't take long For me to head out the door. Hey dealer man dealer man Serve some to me I'm caught up in madness I'll never break free. I love the way I float I love this feeling as I sleep If only this sensation Was a feeling I could keep. But when the effect of the needle Begins to wear out My guts start to scream My brain start to shout. I wish I could escape From this nightmare these dreams Reality no more All is not as it seems. To enjoy, to relish In this delight I've spent all my money To pay for this flight. I've lost all I had My self respects gone No furniture no food No family, no one. I've sold my body I've sold my soul self destruct Is now my goal. I cannot stop this but this can stop me I look at death As a way to be free. Just one more dodgey spoonful Will soon do the trick I'll make up a mixture I'll make it up thick. I hope I fall asleep Then I'll float away Never again will I suffer Being an addict for a day. ��
