Amphetamine Annie
This is a song with a message
I want you to heed my warning
I wanna tell you all a story
About this chick I know
They call her 'Amphetamine Annie'
Shes always shovelling snow
I sat her down and told her
I told her crystal clear
'I dont mind you getting high
But theres one thing you should fear'
'Your mind might think its flying, baby
On those little pills
But you ought to know its dying, cause
Speed kills'
But Annie kept on speeding
Her health was getting poor
She saw things in the window
She heard things at the door
Her mind was like a grinding mill
Her lips were cracked and sore
Her skin was turning yellow
I just couldnt take it no more
She thought her mind was flying
On those little pills
She didnt it was going down fast, cause
Speed kills
Well I sat her down and told her
I told her one more time
'The whole wide human race has taken
Far too much methedrine'
She said 'I dont care what a Limey says,
Ive got to get it on
Im not here to just see no man
Who come from across the pond
She wouldnt heed my warning
Lord, she wouldnt hear what I said
Now shes in the graveyard, and shes
Awfully dead
