I'll Be Your Heroin - Get Set Go

I wanna be the monkey on your back

I’ll be your heroin

The junk in your spoon

The black in your balloon

I’ll be your heroin

I will numb away

The pain of the everyday

The itch that you itch

Just as soon as you prick

I’ll be your heroin

The nod and the doze

As you slow in repose

I’ll be your heroin

I will numb away

The pain of slipping away into

The lazy days of getting by

The soft surrender

Of no longer getting high

The days in traffic

Oh so tragic and cruel

With nowhere to go and nothing in front of you

You’ll crave, and you’ll need

You’ll be hurt, send for me

I’ll be your heroin

You’ll lie and you’ll steal

Just to drown what you feel

I’ll be your heroin

I will numb away

The feelings that make you say

«I'm okay, and everything is doing fine

I’m alright, but I can never find the time

Work’s been great, but how I hate my life

Somebody tell me, what am I doing right?»

I’ll be your heroin

And I’ll comfort you

In all of your blackest moods

I’ll pull you through

I’ll be your heroin

What else could I do?

You will need more

Just so you can feel normal

I’ll be your heroin

And one day you’ll see

That you’ll die without me

I’ll be your heroin

I will numb away

The pain of playing it safe and

Always taking the lonely road

Always backing down

And selling out

And going home

And never, ever being better than you are

The pain of being anything but a star
