Amphetamine Annie - Live

Lyrics

This is a song with a message
 I want you to heed my warning
 I wanna tell you all a story
 About this chick I know
 They call her "Amphetamine Annie"
 She's always shovelling snow
 I sat her down and told her
 I told her crystal clear
 "I don't mind you getting high
 But there's one thing you should fear"
 "Your mind might think its flying, baby
 On those little pills
 But you ought to know it's dying, 'cause
 Speed kills"
 But Annie kept on speeding
 Her health was getting poor
 She saw things in the window
 She heard things at the door
 Her mind was like a grinding mill
 Her lips were cracked and sore
 Her skin was turning yellow
 I just couldn't take it no more
 She thought her mind was flying
 On those little pills
 She didn't it was going down fast, 'cause
 Speed kills
 Well I sat her down and told her
 I told her one more time
 "The whole wide human race has taken
 Far too much methedrine"
 She said "I don't care what a Limey says
 I've got to get it on
 I'm not here to just see no man
 Who come from across the pond
 She wouldn't heed my warning
 Lord, she wouldn't hear what I said
 Now she's in the graveyard, and she's
 Awfully dead
