Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I called the doctor
Called him up in the mornin'
I had a fever
I took it as a warnin'
[Verse 2]
She said that there's nothin' I can prescribe
To keep your raunchy bag of bones alive
I've got money, good for one more shot
She said, God bless, no sweat, I said, thanks a lot
[Verse 3]
It's a  slow, it's a slow
It's a slow, slow death
[Verse 4]
Oh, yeah
[Verse 5]
I called the preacher
Oh, holy, holy
I begged forgiveness
Right then she told me
[Verse 6]
She said, there ain't nothin' that I can prescribe
To keep your raunchy bag of bones alive
I've got some money, good for one more shot
She said, God save you, son, I said, thanks a lot"
[Verse 7]
Hell, sing it
[Verse 8]
Hey-hey, I've got a mainline
Yeah, a hit of morphine
It's just a mainline
Just like a bad dream
[Verse 9]
Slow death, yeah, it eats my mind away
Slow death, yeah, it turns my flesh to clay
Slow death, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, slow death
Yeah, hey, slow death, slow death
Yeah
