Tracks in his arm made him a man
No-one could understand
Each night he'd go out shooting skag
Met a pusher who sold him a bag
That's why he was...
Dead on arrival
Ran out of money so he stole a car
Tried to run but didn't get far
Sent to prison, no turning back
Saw his arm, weaned him off smack
That's why he was...
Dead on arrival
Solo - Pagès
Out on parole tried to keep calm
Finally died with a needle in his arm
Yes out on parole, tried to keep calm
Finally died with a needle in his arm
That's why he was...
Dead on arrival
