You need more heat,
This is a recurring theme.
You die in flames in my dreams.

"i need to get more sleep",
This is what you always say.
Lying in a junkie's way.

Finding you turning blue,
It's easy to discern the truth.
I can see what not to do.
One look at you the dying proof.

Pick up your cigarette
Forget what I said
It's so hard to care what you do.

You say "look at me
Respectfully." I can't.

Finding you turning blue,
It's easy to discern the truth.
I can see what not to do.
One look at you the dying proof.

If life is a performance
And I am not an actor
Am I supposed to lie down and die?
