Lyrics Heroin - Bela Delgado

I think I'm just one dose shy of my coffin
I've risked it all, no matter what it's costed
I'm strung out on the street-side begging for a free spike
Brown as those goddamn eyes that I'm lost in

We make love and then forget the recipe
We break up like Beatles in the '70s
Steals my blood, then buries all the rest of me
She's the one who keeps me where I'm meant to be
Take your time, take my hand
Take me away from them
Play me like theremin
My spike of heroin

I don't play games like cold turkey or detox
Take me all the way, shoot me up 'til I respawn
Burn out like a flame, like Cobain and Courtney love
And you can run in place while I'm failing to keep up

And they think I'm a lunatic
'Cause they all think that you're a bitch
But you treat me like heaven
And you hold me like a tourniquet
And darling I'm a nervous wreck
But I don't need a Percocet
I'm locked inside your prison
'Cause it feels too good to hurt instead

She takes off as soon as she's infected me
She plays dumb, but she can make a mess of me
She's close up enough to be my enemy
She's the one exception to my sanity

We make love and then forget the recipe
We break up like Beatles in the '70s
Steals my blood then buries all the rest of me
She's the one who keeps me where I'm meant to be
Take your time, take my hand
Take me away from them
Play me like theremin
My spike of heroin

'Cause you can give me everything, except for any honesty
And you could be my only love, and I can be your property
If I'm a hot commodity then you'll be my monopoly
And when I have my eyes closed
I see what you really want from me

A victim of your crime, too afraid to take the stand
Or a jester just ingesting all your poison through a band
And you can lecture me, and pester me, and cut like a vasectomy
But all the fluid underneath is bleeding at my ecstasy

I think I'm just one dose shy of my coffin
I've risked it all no matter what it's costed
I'm strung out on the street-side begging for a free spike
Brown as those goddamn eyes that I'm lost in

We make love and then forget the recipe
We break up like Beatles in the '70s
Steals my blood then buries all the rest of me
She's the one who keeps me where I'm meant to be
Take your time, take my hand
Take me away from them
Play me like theremin
My spike of heroin
