Sprawled face down on this Swiss stained iron bed
|
In a dismal cheap hotel
|
With my one arm injured and the sweat-stained billowous murk
|
From my last cold-turkey attack
|
|
I tremble and shiver at the sound outside my door
|
Instrument of release by my side
|
The spike, the hose, the blackened spoon
|
The can or sterno red
|
|
I wait
|
And I wait
|
Spread-eagled
|
Half dead
|
|
Waiting for my man
|
(x8)
|
|
I wait for my fit, the footsteps fall
|
For the black man's stacatto knock knocking
|
I wait he doesn't show
|
I wait he doesn't show
|
I wait he doesn't show
|
|
Get this monkey off my back
|
Get this monkey off my back
|
Get this monkey off my back
|
Get this monkey off my back
|
Off my back
|
Off my back
|
|
