BOY GEORGE - You Are My Heroin lyrics

It's great to be young

Didn't anyone tell you

That life was a lousy substitute

You're not packing angels now

In your undertaker's suit

It's funky down in the gutter

That's what all the bitches say

I'll just call it a celebration

If the devil walks my way

You are my heroin

You are my heroin

Welcome into the garden Sarah

Come see how my roses die

We were looking for Heaven

Couldn't bear to pass you by

There are stories of bad luck, yeah

But they come to bless us all

If it's true that you doubt it

Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall

You are my heroin

You are my heroin

You are my heroin

I was talking to sweet thing

She said hang your horses high

There are jokers and tokers

Here's some pills you ought to try

Some say it's a vacation

Some say I will never die

God won't stop at my station

Hear all the mothers cry

You are my heroin

You are my heroin

You are my heroin

You keep saying kick it, quit it

Lord but did you ever try.

To turn your sick soul inside out

So that the world can watch you die

Home is where I live inside

My home is filled with pain

And it might not be such a bad idea

If I never went home again

You are my heroin

You are my heroin

You are my heroin

There are stories of bad luck, yeah

But they come to bless us all

If it's true that you doubt it

Go ask Alice when she's ten feet tall

You are my heroin

You are my heroin

You know that it's true
