Story Behind The Song
Totally out-of-body composition. Not at all the type of song I would normally write. Written in one overnight session. Not heroin induced, but drug and alcohol induced. I couldn't believe the final result when I heard it. It was a total gift from their spirits.
Song Description
AN addict that can't put the junk down is being discouraged by the voices of rock stars thatb have passed away due to overdose. The song begins sweet and dreamy. You think that its about a woman that a man's in love with. After it hits the hard chorus and the ghostly voices start their haunting chant, you realize that the lady that this guys addicted to is Heroin.

Lyrics
A-1)
(Slow, dreamy tempo)
SHE STARTS OUT AS A FRIEND TO YOU ?
HER CHARM WILL EASE YOUR PAIN
SHE?LL MAKE YOU LAUGH- SHE?LL MAKE YOU FEEL
LIKE YOU?RE BACK ON TOP AGAIN
YOU FALL IN LOVE YOU CAN?T RESIST-
SHE CONSUMES YOUR EVERY THOUGHT
SHE HAS YOU WHERE SHE WANTS YOU NOW-
YOU TRY TO LEAVE- BUT YOU CANNOT
CHORUS:
(Hard edge banger temp change)
THEN SHE WILL EAT YOUR BRAIN-
TAKE YOUR LIFE - DRIVE YOU INSANE
JUST LIKE JIMI KURT AND LANE-
CAN?T YOU HEAR THEIR VOICES CRYIN?
DON?T BE A JUNKIE WHORE-
THERE?S MORE TO LIFE THAN SCORE
YOU?LL STEAL AND KILL FOR MORE
YOU WILL SELL YOUR VERY SOUL FOR MORE
POISON IN YOUR VEINS
IN CRYPTIC PAIN
SCREAM AND COMPLAIN
YOUR SAD REFRAIN-
IS MORE ? MORE- MORE HEROIN
B-1)
THIS COLD SWEAT WON?T GO AWAY
I?VE GOT TO SCORE SOME HORSE TODAY
DON?T TURN YOUR BACK - DON?T WALK AWAY
THERE?S NOT MUCH TIME- PLEASE BUDDY- CAN YOU SPARE A DIME-
I?VE GOT TO FIND MORE HEROIN
A-2)
(Return to slow, dreamy tempo)
THE INFERNO HAS NINE CIRCLES-
HER HELL IS NUMBER TEN
YOUR LIFE IS GONE- BUT SHE?S MOVED ON-
BUT SHE WILL KILL AGAIN
CHORUS:
(Hit CH hard, edgy)
THEN SHE WILL EAT YOUR BRAIN-
TAKE YOUR LIFE - DRIVE YOU INSANE
JUST LIKE JIMI KURT AND LANE-
CAN?T YOU HEAR THEIR VOICES CRYIN?
DON?T BE A JUNKIE WHORE-
THERE?S MORE TO LIFE THAN SCORE
YOU?LL STEAL AND KILL FOR MORE
YOU WILL SELL YOUR VERY SOUL FOR MORE
POISON IN YOUR VEINS
IN CRYPTIC PAIN
SCREAM AND COMPLAIN
YOUR SAD REFRAIN-
IS MORE ? MORE- MORE HEROIN
