Lyrics
An ache in my stomach A shake in my head I feel like I'm dying And I wish I were dead If I live 'til tomorrow It'll be a long, long time But I'll rise and I'll fall And I'll die on cod'ine And it's real, it's real One more time For better your pain Than be caught on cod'ine When I was a young one I learned not to care Of whiskey and frolick I often did swear My mother and father Said whiskey's a curse But the fate of their baby Was a million times worse And it's real, it's real One more time For better your pain Than be caught on cod'ine Stay away from the cities Stay away from town Stay away from the men Pushing codeine around Stay away from the stores Where the remedies you'll find For better your pain Than go down on cod'ine And it's real, and it's real One more time For better your pain Than be caught on cod'ine You'll forget about women You'll forget about men Try it just once And you'll try it again Forget about life You'll forget about time As you live off your days A slave to cod'ine And it's real, yes, it's real One more time For better your pain Than be caught on cod'ine If I die tomorrow Still one thing I've done I heeded the warning I got when I was young My one satisfaction It comes when I think That I've finished my life Without bending to drink And it's real, it's real One more time For better your pain Than the scourge of cod'ine An ache in my stomach A shake in my head I feel like I'm dying And I wish I were dead If I live 'til tomorrow It'll be a long time But I'll rise and I'll fall And I'll die on cod'ine And it's real, it's real One more time
