Indigo Girls - Junkie's Lament lyrics

junkie's lament Rikki's been kicking the gong Lickety split didn't take too long A junkies sick a monkeys strong That's what's wrong Well i guess he's been messing around down town So sad to see the man losing ground He's winding down behind closed doors On all fours Mama don't you call him my name He can't hear you anymore And even if he seems the same to you That's a stranger to your door Go on ask him what's he come here for Oh my god a monkey can move a man Send him to hell and home again With an empty hand in the afternoon Shooting for the moon He's halfway sick and it's halfway stoned He'd sure like to quit but he's too far far gone And they'll wind him down with the methadone He's all on his own Baby don't you throw your love away I hate to seem unkind It's only that i understand the man That the monkey can leave behind And i used to think he was a friend of mine
