58th Chorus

All about goofballs,
      all about morphine,
      so I read all about it,
      that’s what it said,
      “Lethal dose is 30 times
      the Therapeutic dose”

Very painful death, morphine
      or heroin; never
Try to kill yourself with
      heroin or morphine;
It’s a very painful death.

Doctor gave me a mainline shot
Of H grain – Jesus I
thought the whole building
was falling on me –
went on my knees, awake,
lines come under my eye
I looked like a madman
In 15 minutes I begin
       to straighten up a little bit
Says “Jesus Bill I thought
       you was dead
A goner, the way you
       looked
When you’re standin there”
