A JUNKIE'S LULLABY
A vast volcano flow
Has trapped you far from home
And as the lava grows
You've gotta get across
Sometimes you've got no choice
You've gotta sweat it off
You joined the battle roll
To get the stuff they sold
But as it takes its toll
You've gotta cut your loss
Sometimes there's no way else
You've gotta sweat it off
The pain spreads like a poison dart
Inside your wounded heart
You feel the walls closing in as you writhe
The pound of tom tom drums
Inside your suit of arms
It will only begin to subside
As you sweat it off
As you sweat it off
You've gotta sweat it off
