Codine

Mana · Other Songs - Mana

And my belly is craving, there's a shakin' in my head

well I feel like I'm dying, I wish I was dead

If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time

For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine

When I was a young man I learned not to care

Wild whiskey, confronted I often did swear

Well my parents... is a curse

But the fate of their baby is many many times worse

Well it's real, one more time

Well it's real, one more time

Stay away from big cities, stay away from the towns

Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found

stay away from those people...

but it's better to have a .....codine

Well it's real, one more time

Well it's real, one more time

You forget you are a woman

and you forget all about men

If you try it.... you want it again

You forget how I lovin'...

You live out your days as a slave to codine

Well it's real, one more time

Well it's real, one more time

Well it's real, one more time
