The New Heroin Chic

It's oh so cool, to shoot up your veins,
heroin's the fuel, driving fast down the lanes.
In Jazz there was Charlie, Billie, Miles and more,
and Jimmy, and Janis, Keith, Courtney and Kurt
went through the door.
The modeling world has a few Gia's "golden girls"
photo the drugged out look, so sexy in blonde curls.
In Hollywood, Sunset Boulevard is the place to get high,
So you might end up like Belushi, and River Phoenix,
up in the sky.
Junky, the Man with the Golden Arm, Drugstore Cowboy,
Trainspotting,
all this warning, instead some see glamour, and then
bodies rotting.
Smack in the bloodstream is better than sex, God, or
food,
Don't need any of them at all, while you're the
happening dude.
Chasing the dragon, in triangular fields of poppies
the ugly truth remains, there'll be many human copies!
