VERSE 1:
BARON SAMEDI
- Raah! I need a cigarette
- I’m just a little stressed
- I’ve reached the point where even petty shit will get me vexed
- So give me that spliff or else I’ll let that red mist descend
- And set a meeting up between fist and head
- Damn right I’m a bit upset
- I had to sip a keg of liquid crystal meth just to get to bed
- Just stick a pack of Nicorette in the blender
- Whizz it up with an egg and drink it up with my breakfast
- It’s messed up
- Even dress my salad with tobacco leaves
- I have my needs – need to smoke a twenty pack to breathe
- In the street, arse hanging out my baggy jeans
- Chasing after my sanity screaming, “Come back to me!”
- Actually, I’ve been trying to quit this vice - shit
- I’ve even tried being hypnotised
- I still smoke but if somebody clicks their fingers twice
- I think that I’m a chicken and flap my limbs in time
- Bill Hicks was right – I’m addicted, I admit it
- Me without a ciggie is like Clark sniffing kryptonite
- But when I’m 65 and the cancer’s got to me
- I’ll still be coughing on this weed through my tracheotomy
INTERLUDE
VERSE 2:
BARON SAMEDI
- Yeah I’ll admit it, it’s a habit
- But dag-nammit I’m a sad addict
- That needs his daily drag or gets mad frantic
- I start to sweat, panic
- Rant and get manic
- Lashing out with random acts of anger that’s satanic
- All these yats, “Urgh, rank! I don’t want to kiss an ashtray”
- That’s OK, I’ll just slip out my dick and point them that way
- ‘Cause in this rat race every man’s lost
- For me a pack of tabs is just another crutch I stand on
- Sometimes I flip ‘em round and smoke ‘em filter first
- Just to get them extra chemicals to hit a nerve
- Then you go into the stage where my fingers burn
- WHEEZING: So I really sound like this but I ain’t concerned
- They said, “Try cold turkey”
- “I don’t like turkey!”
- So I tried cold chicken, but that shit is just not working
- So now when I’m filling out applications
- I’m putting chain smoker down as an occupation
