Cold Turkey
The Beatles · Other Songs - The Beatles
Fever is high
Can't see no future
Can't see no sky.
My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead.
Cold turkey has got me on the run.
Body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Can't see no body
Leave me alone.
My eyes are wide open
Can't get to sleep
One thing I'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze.
Cold turkey has got me on the run.
Cold turkey has got me on the run.
Thirty six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
Free me again.
Oh I'll be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell.
Cold turkey has got me on the run.
