Codeine Queen

She wants a better life as the days grow cold
Always running short, she's always running on life support
And at the end of the day she whispers where did I go wrong
A rebel and a stunner with her heart on the numb side of the moon

Have you ever thought just once
That maybe you are just wrong, and you're strung out on the left
Running around living a lie
Have you ever thought just once
That maybe you're all just wrong and she's strung out on the left

You're always living a lie and you're fading away

She's angry cause she's banged up from the night before
A bottle smashed upside her lovely head
Punches from both sides were thrown
She had friends who could have helped but they got lost instead
After all who wants to help a crack whore with a price on her head

Have you ever thought just once
That maybe you are just wrong, but you're strung out on the left
Running around, living a lie
Have you ever though just once
That maybe you are just wrong and you're strung out in the left

You're always running around, and you're fading away

It's the story of your life
You remain unjustified
Right or wrong you sing the song
That fucking song which doesn't rhyme
Needles or cocaine
You complain it's all the same
Running around, wearing the lie thin
As you slowly fade away
You got a gun in your hand, money in the dufflebag it's a drag
You can use a little help
Instead you hide behind the rags
Whatever riches gained will fade unto the darkness of the night

And she believed it
And she believed it
It's the story of your life
You remain unjustified
Right or wrong you sing the song
That fucking song which doesn't rhyme
Needles or cocaine
You complain it's all the same
Running around, wearing the lie thin
As you slowly fade away
And she believed it
And she believed it
