Codine

[Verse 1]
My belly's shaking and I crave it in my head
I feel like I'm dying and I wish I was dead
If I live till tomorrow, it'll be a long time
Oh, I live out my days a slave to Codine
And it's real, lord it's real, one more time

[Verse 2]
On the day I was born, all the grim reapers smiled
Said, "I'll get you yet, you demonized child"
I was older than my sisters that I left behind
Oh, I ran like the wind with my friend Codine
Oh it's real, oh she's real, one more time

[Verse 3]
It's the reason I breathe, honey, it's the reason I walk
It's the reason I sleep and the reason I talk
But soon my devotion will all be repaid
The Codine will kill me, that's the bargain we made
And it's real, lord it's real, one more time

[Verse 4]
You'll forget you're a woman, you'll forget about men
Try it just once, and you'll try it again
You'll forget about life, you'll forget about time
And you'll live out your days a slave to Codine
And it's real, lord it's real, one more time

[Verse 5]
And after I'm gone and the sad race is run
I'll go down to hell where my life had begun
There'll be somebody with me, won't leave me alone
Oh, Codine will be there to polish my bones
And it's real, oh he's real, one more time

[Verse 6]
And after I'm gone and the morning sets in
Don't wonder what I was girl, or what might have been
Mourn my sad heart and my tear-filled eyes
And the Codine I crave and I despise
Oh she's real, oh she's real, one last time

[Outro]
She's real, oh she's real one last time
