Ritchie was an old friend of mine
|
He took lots of pills to pass the time
|
Used to be filled with political conviction
|
He started to struggle with heroin addiction
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
His skin turned cold and his face turned blue
|
Not yet 30 but it happened to you
|
Russian Roulette with a needle in your vein
|
A junkies life ends up the same
|
|
It seems like he changed overnight
|
He took more dope to feel alright
|
Didn't pay attention to the warning signs
|
Started living on borrowed time
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
His skin turned cold and his face turned blue
|
Not yet 30 but it happened to you
|
Russian Roulette with a needle in your vein
|
A junkies life ends up the same
|
|
I'm so sorry but I can't go on
|
He lost his strength to carry on
|
Shot a speed ball into his vein
|
To end his life and to end the pain
|
