Co'dine

An' my belly is craving, I got shakin' in my head
 I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead
 If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time
 For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine
 An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
 When I was a young man I learned not to care
 Wild whiskey, confronted I often did swear
 My mother and father said whiskey is a curse
 But the fate of their baby is many times worse
 An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
 You'll forget your woman, you'll forget about man
 Try it just once, an' you'll try it again
 It's sometimes you wonder and it's sometimes you think
 That I'm a-living my life with abandon to drink
 An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
 Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns
 Stay away from the men pushin' the codine around
 Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found
 I will live a few days as a slave to codine
 An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
 An' my belly is craving, I've got a shakin' in my head
 An' I've started heating whether my body said
 Steady yourself with the grains of cocaine
 An' you'll end dead or you'll end up insane
 An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
 An' my belly is craving, I got shaking in my head
 I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead
 If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time
 For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine
 An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
 An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
 Tangerine Eyes
 Please darling Tangerine Eyes sing a song for me,
 One that I can hear all the day.
 Oh and please darling Tangerine Eyes kiss my hand at dawn
 By the bright and yellow corn of your hair.
 Like a picture of the golden sunset you can make it real,
 You know just how I feel all the time.
 So please darling Tangerine Eyes whisper to the wind
 We'll leave the rain behind and walk away.
 We walk along the lonesome shoreline listening to the sea,
 Talking to you and me about the sky
 And we know even as we walk that way before the dawn
 Our footsteps will be gone far away.
 The seagulls ride the winds for you, can't you hear them cry,
 Can't you hear them sigh out your name?
 Oh please darling Tangerine Eyes sing a song for me
 One that I can hear
 So I feel alright
 In the big start studded night of my dreams.
