[Intro]
I wanna be the monkey on your back
I'll be your heroin
The junk in your spoon
The black in your balloon
I'll be your heroin
I will numb away
The pain of the everyday

[Verse 1]
The itch that you itch
Just as soon as you prick
I'll be your heroin
The nod and the doze
As you slow in repose
I'll be your heroin
I will numb away
The pain of slipping away into
The lazy days of getting by
The soft surrender
Of no longer getting high
The days in traffic
Oh so tragic and cruel
With nowhere to go and nothing in front of you

[Verse 2]
You'll crave, and you'll need
You'll be hurt, send for me
I'll be your heroin
You'll lie and you'll steal
Just to drown what you feel
I'll be your heroin
I will numb away
The feelings that make you say
"I'm okay, and everything is doing fine
I'm alright, but I can never find the time
Work's been great, but how I hate my life
Somebody tell me, what am I doing right?"
[Hook]
I'll be your heroin
And I'll comfort you
In all of your blackest moods
I'll pull you through
I'll be your heroin
What else could I do?

[Outro]
You will need more
Just so you can feel normal
I'll be your heroin
And one day you'll see
That you'll die without me
I'll be your heroin
I will numb away
The pain of playing it safe and
Always taking the lonely road
Always backing down
And selling out
And going home
And never, ever being better than you are
The pain of being anything but a star
