You Are My Heroin Lyrics It's great to be young Didn't anyone tell you That life was a lousy substitute You're not packing angels now In your undertaker's suit It's funky down in the gutter That's what all the bitches say I'll just call it a celebration If the devil walks my way You are my heroin You are my heroin Welcome into the garden Sarah Come see how my roses die We were looking for Heaven Couldn't bear to pass you by There are stories of bad luck, yeah But they come to bless us all If it's true that you doubt it Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall You are my heroin You are my heroin You are my heroin I was talking to sweet thing She said hang your horses high There are jokers and tokers Here's some pills you ought to try Some say it's a vacation Some say I will never die God won't stop at my station Hear all the mothers cry You are my heroin You are my heroin You are my heroin You keep saying kick it, quit it Lord but did you ever try. To turn your sick soul inside out So that the world can watch you die Home is where I live inside My home is filled with pain And it might not be such a bad idea If I never went home again You are my heroin You are my heroin You are my heroin There are stories of bad luck, yeah But they come to bless us all If it's true that you doubt it Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall You are my heroin You are my heroin You know that it's true
