Amphetamine Annie

This is a song with a message I want you to heed my warning I wanna tell you all a story About this chick I know They call her "Amphetamine Annie" She's always shovelling snow I sat her down and told her I told her crystal clear "I don't mind you getting high But there's one thing you should fear" "Your mind might think its flying, baby On those little pills But you ought to know it's dying, 'cause Speed kills" But Annie kept on speeding Her health was getting poor She saw things in the window She heard things at the door Her mind was like a grinding mill Her lips were cracked and sore Her skin was turning yellow I just couldn't take it no more She thought her mind was flying On those little pills She didn't it was going down fast, 'cause Speed kills Well I sat her down and told her I told her one more time "The whole wide human race has taken Far too much methedrine" She said "I don't care what a Limey says, I've got to get it on I'm not here to just see no man Who come from across the pond She wouldn't heed my warning Lord, she wouldn't hear what I said Now she's in the graveyard, and she's Awfully dead
