Lyrics

Whiskey bottle and brand-new car Oak tree, you're in my way There's too much coke and too much smoke Look what's going on inside you Ooh-ooh that smell Can't ya smell that smell Ooh-ooh that smell The smell of death's around you Yeah Angel of darkness is upon you Stuck a needle in your arm (Ya fool you) So take another toke have a blow for your nose One more drink fool would drown you (Hell yeah) Ooh-ooh that smell Can't ya smell that smell Ooh-ooh that smell The smell of death's around you Now they call you Prince Charming Can't speak a word when you're full of 'ludes Say you'll be all right come tomorrow But tomorrow might not be here for you (Yeah, you) Ooh-ooh that smell Can't you smell that smell Ooh-ooh that smell The smell of death's around you Oh, you're a fool you Don't stick them needles in your arm Oh, I been here before One little problem that confronts you Gotta monkey on your back Just one more fix Lord might do the trick One helluva price for you to get your kicks (Hell yeah) Ooh-ooh that smell Can't ya smell that smell Ooh-ooh that smell The smell of death's around you Ooh-ooh that smell Can't ya smell that smell Ooh-ooh that smell The smell of death's around you Oh, you're a fool you Don't stick those needles in your arm You're just a fool, just a fool, just a fool Gimme one more blow One more blow for my nose yeah
