Shadows

Trisha Lynn 1983 (Va)



Here's a little secret between you and I.
All this chaos is guaranteed Gemini.
Hurricane mentality like do or die.
Be so high I can't tell I can't fly.
Never been a junkie but damn sure a dope phen.
Everyday I be on that Ganga,herion and methamphetamine.
Always running from this bitch called Maxine.
Somebody go call Eileen.
Hurry your ass, no don't slow down.
Spin spin spin till you can't feel the ground.
Darkness, he's right behind you, you better not look.
One little taste and you stupid ass is hooked.
Wtf? Weren't you paying attention when that dog said, "say no to drugs",
Oh that's right, you were to busy trying to be a fucking small town thug.
Now you're in this desert  all strung out and alone.
Without a single place to call home.
