lyrics
HEROIN HEART (Copyright)
Jeff Sullivan
I always took the hard road
and tripped on every rock and stone
wasted down to skin and bone
for sins I never could atone
there are nine billion games of love
and I tried every one
I always played my part
Just me and my heroin heart
I sought oblivion for its silence
and escape from all the violence
I know my will was spent
in my heart a vague lament
I walked the wire without a net
a failed search for a lost caress
but I was stranded at the start
Just me and my heroin heart
Somewhere there's an echo of my past
each rotten root that didn't last
of dreams I failed to grasp
and roles that remained uncast
I thought my choice was free
when I took the fruit from the poison tree
but I was on every bridge I burnt apart
Just me and my heroin heart
