You need more heat,

This is a recurring theme.

You die in flames in my dreams.



"I need to get more sleep",

This is what you always say.

Lying in a junkie's way.



Finding you turning blue,

It's easy to discern the truth.

I can see what not to do.

One look at you the dying proof.



Pick up your cigarette

Forget what I said

It's so hard to care what you do.



You say "look at me

Respectfully." I can't.



Finding you turning blue,

It's easy to discern the truth.

I can see what not to do.

One look at you the dying proof.



If life is a performance

And I am not an actor

Am I supposed to lie down and die?
