I called the doctor Up in the morning I had a fever It was a warning She said \'There's nothing I can prescribe To keep your raunchy bag of bones alive\' I got some money left for one more shot She said \'God bless you\' I said \'Thanks a lot\'
It's a slow, slow death
I called the preacher Holy, holy I begged forgiveness That's when he told me He said \'There's nothing I can prescribe To keep your raunchy bag of bones alive\' I got some money left for one more shot He said \'God bless you\' I said \'Thanks a lot\'
[Chorus/instrumental break]
I'm set to mainline A hit of morphine It's set to mainline It's like a bad dream Slow death... eat my mind away Slow death... turn my guts to clay Slow death [repeated] Yeah, yeah [repeated]
