She wakes cold and hungry
Spike still in her arm
Stares at it blankly
Feels no cause for alarm...
She took more fentanyl
Now starting to feel like hell
She'll tweek her high
Putting together an egg shell...
Ok, she's come down
To buy more money she'll need
Now to find a man
Have for money, not to seed...
As he straightens out his shirt
She pulls down her shirt so tight
"Thanks for being a love
Now I can get high tonight...
They find her the next morning
Needle still in her arm
She's long past saving
So there's no need for alarm...
The real alarm is she was a friend
Many know I'm a friend to the end
An' she was the 12th overdose in a month...
