Man (band) - Codine lyrics

Well my belly is craving, there's a shakin' in my head Well I feel like I'm dying, I wish I was dead If I lived till tomorrow it would be a long time For I'll reel and I'll fall then I'll rise on codine When I was a young man I learned not to care But for whiskey, bourbon, often I did swear Well my parents they warned me that liquor is a curse But the fate of their baby is many many times worse Well it's real, one more time Well it's real, one more time Stay away from big cities, stay away from the towns Stay away from the stores where the remedy is so fine Stay away from those people with dope on their minds But it's better to have a raw pain than to be caught on codine Well it's real, one more time Well it's real, one more time You forget you are a woman And you forget all about men If you try it just once, you want it again You forget about lovin', you forget about time You live out your days as a slave to codine Well it's real, one more time Well it's real, one more time Well it's real, one more time
