Oh heroin, oh heroin
And cocaine and cocaine
Well, I loved them both

But they took my life, they took my friends
They won?t give ?em back, well, I want ?em back
Oh, give ?em back now

And what has it gotten me?
Just some teeth I can?t chew
My favorite cereal with

Oh , bein' cool and lookin' good
Keith Richards and Lenny Bruce
And all of them
Well, I give up

Sometimes I?ll get sad
Or I?ll get mad
About where I should be
And where I am and I wanna go back

But where has it gotten me?
35 years old now
I wash dishes in a restaurant

Well, my friend Robert
Well, he can?t stop
And his teeth are fallin' out
And he?s livin' at his mom?s
And it?s no fun, no

I guess, I?m lucky I'm alive
Yeah, I?m lucky, I?m alive
?Cause I should be dead
Well, I have been dead
But I?m not now, no

And what has it got me?
Just some teeth I can?t chew
My favorite cereal with

Yeah, where has it gotten me?
I?m 35 years old now
Work in a fucking restaurant

Oh heroin, oh heroin
And cocaine and cocaine
Well, I loved them both
