Opium Lyrics by John Carcer

Manhunt

2022

Smoking opium in the city
When I see Chinatown wars
I go further in the city
Down deeper
I keep counting the stars
One by one

Opium dreams
See me fly through the sky
The bright lights go by my way
I wave goodbye

See you one more time
When it's the dog days
I reflect on that one night stand
Off we go
Off we go

In the neon city
Cleavers and machetes chasing after me
I'm running from hallucinations it's gonna kill my dream
My dream

All the enemies coming my way
Take my bones and want my ecstasy
I gun my way through and take them down with me
Falling through a deck of cards I'm gone
Through the abyss you will be the one
That we all go down
A vice city memory
On an opium dream

Take me away through the green mist
Make me reborn I want to be free
Say my last prayer
I'll be up 60 stories high
So I won't feel a thing
Landing on broken down street
Crush my limbs in yellow bright taxi
New report says he OD on the spot
It's his fault

On an opium dream
On an opium smile
On an opium life
On an opium future
It's what's to be an opium dream
On an opium smile
On an opium life
On an opium future
It's what's to be an opium dream
