Heroin - John Frusciante

Oh Heroin, heroin 
And cocaine, cocaine 
Well I loved them both 

But they took my life, they took my friends 
They won't give em back, but I want em back 
Oh give em back now 

And what has it got me 
Just some teeth I can't chew 
my favourite cereal with 

Oh being cool, and looking good 
Keith Richards and Lenny Bruce 
And all of them, well I give up 

Sometimes I get sad, or I'll get mad 
About where I should be, and where I am 
Don't wanna go back 

And where has it got me 
but five years older now 
Washing dishes in a restaurant 

Well my friend Robert, he can't stop 
His teeth are falling out 
And he's living at his mom's 
And its no fun

I guess I'm lucky I'm alive, yea I'm lucky I'm alive 
Coz I should be dead, well I have been dead 
But I'm not now, no 

But what has it got me 
Just some teeth I can't chew 
my favourite cereal with 

Yea where has it got me 
but five years older now 
Working in a fucking restaurant 

Oh Heroin, heroin 
And cocaine, cocaine 
Well I loved them both
