The Barracudas - Codeine lyrics

An' my belly is craving, I got shakin' in my head I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were 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 An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time When I was a young man I learned not to care Wild whiskey, confronted I often did swear My mother and father said whiskey is a curse But the fate of their baby is many times worse An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time You'll forget your woman, you'll forget about man Try it just once, an' you'll try it again It's sometimes you wonder and it's sometimes you think That I'm a-living my life with abandon to drink An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns Stay away from the men pushin' the codine around Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found I will live a few days as a slave to codine An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time An' my belly is craving, I've got a shakin' in my head An' I've started heating whether my body said Steady yourself with the grains of c**aine An' you'll end dead or you'll end up insane An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time An' my belly is craving, I got shaking in my head I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were 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 An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time Tangerine Eyes Please darling Tangerine Eyes sing a song for me, One that I can hear all the day. Oh and please darling Tangerine Eyes kiss my hand at dawn By the bright and yellow corn of your hair. Like a picture of the golden sunset you can make it real, You know just how I feel all the time. So please darling Tangerine Eyes whisper to the wind We'll leave the rain behind and walk away. We walk along the lonesome shoreline listening to the sea, Talking to you and me about the sky And we know even as we walk that way before the dawn Our footsteps will be gone far away. The seagulls ride the winds for you, can't you hear them cry, Can't you hear them sigh out your name? Oh please darling Tangerine Eyes sing a song for me One that I can hear So I feel alright In the big start studded night of my dreams.
