Drive-By Truckers - Heroin Again lyrics
[Drive-By Truckers - Heroin Again lyrics]
Insulate yourself from life
And all of it's big noise
Insinuate a fever dream instigate a requiem
A deafening explosion of shame
An orgasm inside your brain
Silly young men why you using heroin?
Thought you knew better than that
Thought you knew better than that
Beautiful lost girl you turned your back on
This mean street world
Taste of heaven some part of you dies
'Til you're something you can't recognize
Race to no better thing dying using heroin
Just a discrepancy cutting life expectancy
I thought you knew better than that
Thought you knew better than that
I thought you knew better than that
Didn't '71 teach us anything?
Didn't '94 teach us anything?
It's called for me and tempted me
Never quite captured me
Always just turned away
Lost so many friends that way
I thought they knew better than that
I thought they knew better than that
I thought they knew better than that
I thought they knew better than that
I thought you knew better than that
I thought you knew better than that
