Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Whiskey bottles and brand new cars
Oak tree, you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke
Look what's going on inside you
[Chorus]
Ooh, that smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Ooh, that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
[Verse 2]
Angel of darkness is upon you
Stuck a needle in your arm
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose
One more drink, fool, will drown you
[Chorus]
Ooh, that smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Ooh, that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
[Verse 3]
Now they call you Prince Charming
Can't speak a word when you're full of ludes
Say you'll be alright, come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you
[Chorus]
Ooh, that smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Ooh, that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
[Bridge]
Hey, you're a fool, you
Go on, stick them needles in your arm
[Bridge]
I know I been there before
[Verse 4]
One little problem that confronts you
Got a monkey on your back
Just one more fix, Lord, might do the trick
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks
[Chorus]
Ooh, that smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Ooh, that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Ooh, that smell
Can't you smell that smell?
Ooh, that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
[Outro]
Hey, you're a fool, you
Go on, 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, oh, yeah
