I'll Be Your Heroin

I wanna be the monkey on your back I'll be your heroin The junk in your spoon The black in your balloon I'll be your heroin I will numb away The pain of the everyday The itch that you itch Just as soon as you prick I'll be your heroin The nod and the doze As you slow in repose I'll be your heroin I will numb away The pain of slipping away into The lazy days of getting by The soft surrender Of no longer getting high The days in traffic, Oh so tragic and cruel With nowhere to go and nothing in front of you You'll crave, and you'll need You'll be hurt, send for me I'll be your heroin You'll lie and you'll steal Just to drown what you feel I'll be your heroin I will numb away The feelings that make you say "I'm okay, and everything is doing fine I'm alright, but I can never find the time Work's been great, but how I hate my life Somebody tell me, what am I doing right?" I'll be your heroin And I'll comfort you In all of your blackest moods I'll pull you through I'll be your heroin What else could I do? You will need more Just so you can feel normal I'll be your heroin And one day you'll see That you'll die without me I'll be your heroin I will numb away The pain of playing it safe and Always taking the lonely road Always backing down And selling out And going home And never, ever being better than you are The pain of being anything but a star
