Cod’ine Lyrics by Silver Paper

On Demand

2022

An ache in my stomach
A shake in my head
I feel like I'm dying
And I wish I were dead
If I live 'til tomorrow
It'll be a long, long time
But I'll rise and I'll fall
And I'll die on cod'ine

And it's real, it's real
One more time
For better your pain
Than be caught on cod'ine

When I was a young one
I learned not to care
Of whiskey and frolick
I often did swear
My mother and father
Said whiskey's a curse
But the fate of their baby
Was a million times worse

And it's real, it's real
One more time
For better your pain
Than be caught on cod'ine

Stay away from the cities
Stay away from town
Stay away from the men
Pushing codeine around
Stay away from the stores
Where the remedies you'll find
For better your pain
Than go down on cod'ine

And it's real, and it's real
One more time
For better your pain
Than be caught on cod'ine

You'll forget about women
You'll forget about men
Try it just once
And you'll try it again
Forget about life
You'll forget about time
As you live off your days
A slave to cod'ine

And it's real, yes, it's real
One more time
For better your pain
Than be caught on cod'ine

If I die tomorrow
Still one thing I've done
I heeded the warning
I got when I was young
My one satisfaction
It comes when I think
That I've finished my life
Without bending to drink

And it's real, it's real
One more time
For better your pain
Than the scourge of cod'ine

An ache in my stomach
A shake in my head
I feel like I'm dying
And I wish I were dead
If I live 'til tomorrow
It'll be a long time
But I'll rise and I'll fall
And I'll die on cod'ine

And it's real, it's real
One more time
