Intro
Verse
She speaks to me in Persian
Tells me that she loves me
The girl with golden eyes
And though I hardly know her
I let her in my veins
And trust her with my life
I wish I had never kissed her
'Cause I just can't resist her
The girl with golden eyes
Every time she whispers
'Take me in your arms
The way you did last night.'
Chorus
Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
If I can get away from her
And save my worthless life.
Verse
I wake up every morning
Jonesing for her love
The girl with golden eyes
I won't have to wait long
'Til she buries me with roses
'Cause she's always by my side
Chorus
Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
If I can get away from her
And save my worthless life.
SPOKEN WORD
Repeat throughout
Day 1. Dope free. I went to the clinic today and got the first dose of methadone.
I'm out of dope so I threw away all my rigs.
Day 2. I can't believe it's been two days without junk.
Fucking smack, it just ruins peoples' lives.
At first it seems so sweet, then you wake up next to a monster.
Day 3. I haven't had anything for three days now.
This withdrawal is killing me. It's like shock therapy to my guts.
Day 4. Last visit to the clinic. My whole body feels like it's cracking into pieces.
Fragile doesn't even come close to describing how I feel.
Day 5. I'm sick as a dog, but this handful of painkillers
and a lotta whiskey's gonna get me through.
Day 6. When I'm left to my own devices I go fucking insane.
I'll never use heroin again.
Day 7. I can't believe I'm clean!
Day 8. Everyone says I look better.
Day 9. The parasites are panicking.
Day 10. They seem amazed that I'm alive!
Chorus
Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
(no this time)
If I can get away from her
And save my worthless life.
Everything will be okay
Everything will be alright
If I can get away from her
And save my worthless life.
