No Dope No Cigarettes

on the news today
they ran her picture twice
they found her in a shallow stream
half frozen in the ice
you listen to the rain
from your room all day
it continues raining
it will wash it all away

no dope, no cigarettes
to keep the devil down
you know you won't forget
the things that haunt you now
no drug that you can get
will wipe it all away
no dope no cigarettes today

in your bed at night
trapped between the sheets
you hear the monster coming
as you try to go to sleep
and when you close your eyes
and you're playing dead
you see the ones who say
they love you circle overhead
