Mother Dear Mother

It's Cold Tonight

Like Every Other

Every Other Night

But I Never Feel

Feel It Anyway

I'm Gonna Need Something

Something Soon

I Can Feel It

Feel It Begin

But I Don't Know

How I'm Gonna Pay

It Must Be About

Mid December Right Now

And I Think I'm About

Seventeen

I'm Not Real Sure

How Old I Feel

I Lost My Thoughts

In Some Dream

Oh Mother I Don't

Know How

I Got Where I Am

But I'll Try To Explain Anyhow



See Gradually

You Get Sucked In

Into It

Without Ever Really

Realising

Just What's Happening

And That Is When

The Downward Spiral Begins



Anyway Back To How It All Started

It Started With Dope

Why Not After All It Was Just The Once, I Told Myself

I Didn't Even Like It Very Much

But The People I Was With All Did It

Then I Tried Speed

Why Not After All, It Was Just The Once I Told Myself

The Next Thing I Knew I Was Doing A Couple Of Grams A Week

Then A Friend Introduced Me To Smack- Chasing The Dragon

Why Not After All It Was Just The Once I Told Myself

Why Not After All It Wasn't Using A Needle

Then I Started Doing What I Said I'd Never Do
