Cold Turkey

Yoko Ono · Other Songs - Yoko Ono

The temperature's rising

The fever is high

Can't see no future

Can't see no sky



My feet are so heavy

And so is my head

I wish I was a baby

I wish I was dead



Cold turkey has got me on the run

Cold turkey has got me on the run



My body is aching

Goose pimple bone

I can't see nobody

Leave me alone



My eyes are wide open

I can't go 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



I'll be a good boy

Please make me well

I promise you anything

Out of this hell



Cold turkey has got me on the run

Cold turkey has got me on the run



Cold turkey has got me on the run

Cold turkey has got me on the run
