• So now little man, you've grown tired of
  grass,Amphetamines, acid, downers hash,Let me
  introduce you to Lady Heroin...Well honey before
  you star fooling with me,Just let me inform you
  of how it will be,I will seduce you and make you
  my slave,I've sent much stronger than you to the
  grave.You think you could never become a
  discrace,and end up addicted to my poppy seed
  waste.You'll need lots of money just like you've
  been told,'Cos Darling I'm much more expensive
  than gold.So you'll start to inhale me one
  afternoon,Take me in your arm the beginning of
  doom,And once I have entered deep down in your
  vein,Your life will never again be the same.I'm
  expensive and dangerous, and love to live
  fast,That feeling I give you it will never last.

• You'll swindle your mother just for a
  buck,You'll turn into something vile and
  corrupt.You'll rob and you'll steal for my
  narcotic charms,And you'll only find peace when
  I'm there in your arms.When you realise the
  monster into which you've grown,You'll solemly
  pledge to leave me only,You nay think you've got
  that mystical knock,Well honey just try getting
  me off your back,The vomits, the cramps, your
  guts tied in knots,Your trembling nerves
  screaming for those needed shots,The hot sweats,
  the cold chills, the withdrawal pains,Can only
  be cured by my little brown grains.Theres no
  turning back, theres no need to look,For deep
  down inside you know your still hooked.You've
  given your morals, your conscience, your
  heart,Your mine now foreverTILL DEATH DO US
  PART!
