Well, I ain't your baby, I ain't your baby now Them holy rollers got kicked right out of town It's dark where I've been stayin' Don't you worry, come on in Well, I've finally found a friend I've found a friend [CHORUS:] Codeine, Codeine You're the nicest thing I've seen For a while For a while Well you hold my hand as I step into the room And all these people, they'll all be fading soon Well, it's whisper time remembered Through armored thorns and knives And it's all that I've got left To hold onto. [CHORUS:] Codeine, Codeine You're the nicest thing I've seen For a while For a while Well you can keep your dusty bottle on your shelf You can keep your words of wisdom to yourself I love you darling so Why can't you let me go Before you find me hanging in my cell [CHORUS (x2):] Codeine, Codeine You're the nicest thing I've seen For a while For a while Codeine, Codeine You're the nicest thing I've seen For a while For a while
