Dope Fiend Blues lyrics

In a police car I feel so very small
I see my lover`s face and I watch her teardrops fall
And I try to figure out where I`d fallen off the track
I sold my soul to the devil and then I stole it back

Chorus
And in the end, you know a dope fiend ain`t got no friends
And a junkie is a junkie to the bitter end
Hope to die now, cuz you know I`m better off dead
Hey brother, won`t you lend me a helpin` hand?

I tie myself off, shoot it in my veins
I feel like Marlon Brando and I`ve hid another day`s pain
I`m goin` back where it`s safe, goin` back to the womb
I find my mother`s comfort, here in a needle and spoon

Chorus
And Christmas for a dope fiend ain`t no fun
Waitin` for good times that seem to never come
Goin` out now, gonna get myself a gun
Please stop me, don`t you know I`m on a run?

Aren`t you tired of the detox and the places in the mind?
Aren`t you tired of the misery, aren`t you tired of doin` time?
And I try to figure out where I`d fallen off the track
You know I sold my soul to the devil and then I stole it back

Chorus
I`m a dope fiend, I`m a liar, a cheat and a thief
At my funeral, won`t you bring me a red rose wreath?
Dress in black now, show everyone your grief
Well, I`m gone now, you can all feel relief!
