John Frusciante - Heroin lyrics

Oh heroin, heroin

And cocaine, cocaine

Well I loved them both

But they took my life,

They took my friends

They won't give em back, but I want em back

Oh give em back now

And what has it got me?

Just some teeth

I can't chew my favourite cereal with

Oh being cool, and looking good

Keith Richards and Lenny Bruce

And all of them, well I give up

Sometimes I get sad, or I'll get mad

About where I should be and where I am now

Don't wanna go back

And where has it got me?

35 years old now

Washing dishes in a restaurant

Well my friend Robert, well he can't stop

His teeth are falling out

And he's living at his mom's, and it's no fun

I guess I'm lucky I'm alive,

Yeah I'm lucky I'm alive,

Cause I should be dead,

Well I have been dead,

But I'm not now, no

But what has it got me?

Just some teeth

I can't chew my favourite cereal with

Yeah where has it got me

Thirty-five years old now

Working in a fucking restaurant

Oh heroin, heroin

And cocaine, cocaine

Well I loved them both
