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.
