I wanna be the monkey on your backnI'll be your heroin.nThe junk in your spoon, the black in your balloonnI'll be your heroin.nnI will numb away the pain of the everyday.nnThe itch that you itch just as soon as you pricknI'll be your heroin.nThe nod in the doze as you slow in reposenI'll be your heroin.nnI will numb away the pain of slipping away Into the lazy days of getting bynThe soft surrender, no longer getting highnThe days in traffic, oh so tragic and cruelnWith nowhere to go and nothing in front of you.nnYou'll crave, and you'll need, you'll be hurting for menI'll be your heroin.nYou'll lie and you'll steal just to drown what you feelnI'll be your heroin.nnI will numb away the feelings that make you saynI'm okay, and everything is doing fine,nI'm all right, but I can never find the time,nWork's been great, but how I hate my life,nSomebody tell me what am I doing right.nnI'll be your heroin,nAnd I'll comfort you.nIn all of your blackest moods,nI'll pull you through.nI'll be your heroin,nWhat else could I do?nnYou will need more just so you can feel normalnI'll be your heroin.nAnd one day you'll see that you'll die without menI'll be your heroin.nnI will numb away the pain of playing it safe nAnd always taking the lower road,nAlways backing down and selling out and going homenAnd never, ever being better than you are,nThe pain of being anything but a star.
