One Way Track Marks - Hellbound Glory

He started off on Oxycontin and moved on to black tar heroin

We thought he only smoked it, and only every now and then

But when he wore that t-shirt we saw he had taken it too far

There was no turnin' back: we saw the one-way track marks on his arms

They say heroin’s a lady with legs that reach up to the sky

And an ass like molasses so sweet a man’d follow 'til he died

But I never thought I’d see the day a friend would fall victim to her charms

There was no turnin' back: we saw the one-way track marks on his arms

Today they laid him in a coffin and the pastor said «He's in God’s arms again»

But he’d already been there 'cause junkies just bring heaven down to them

Well I hope the angels up there can hold him and heal all his scars

And with their sweet and gentle ways they’ll erase the one-way track marks on

his arms
