The aching in my stomach got created in my head I feel like I'm dying and I wish I were dead. If my will comes tomorrow it will be a long time And I'll rise, not fall, and I'll die on Codine.
And it's real, and it's real One more time.
When I was a young boy, I learned not to kill For whiskey and colic, I happened to swear.
My mother and father Said whiskey's cursed. But the fate that they had Was a million times worse.
And it's real, and it's real One more time.
Stay away from the city Stay away from the town Stay away from the men Pushing Codine around.
Stay away from the stores Where the remedies you will find For better your pain Than be caught on Codine
