JUNKIE JESUS

JESUS SAID TO MARY

MY CONNECTION GOT LOST

I BEEN HANGIN ROUND HERE WAITIN

FOR A FIX ON THE CROSS

MARRY COULD YOU GET ME

JUST A LINE OF COCAINE

ANYTHING TO GET ME OFF

CAUSE HONEY I'M GOING INSANE

(chorus)

DADDY DIG THE NAILS IN MY HANDS AND MY FEET

JUDAS WAS A NARC AND TURNED ME IN TO THE HEAT

WELL MARY SAID TO JESUS

YOU'RE A MAIN LININ FOOL

I'M TRYIN TO SCORE YOU SOMETHIN' HONEY

BUT PEOPLE AIN'T COOL

EVER SINCE YOU GOT BUSTED

EVERYBODY'S TERRIFIED

THEY SAY THEY DON'T KNOW THE JUNKIE

WHO GOT CRUCIFIED

(chorus)

DADDY DIG THE NAILS IN MY HANDS AND MY FEET

JUDAS WAS A NARC AND TURNED ME IN TO THE HEAT

WELL JESUS SAID TO MARRY

MY CONNECTION IS HERE

IT'S BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

WITH A FIX FOR ME DEAR

I'M TIRED OF THESE NAILS

I HOPE THAT DEATH WILL COME SOON

BUT TILL IT DOES BE AN ANGEL MARY

AND HEAT UP THE SPOON

(chorus)

DADDY DIG THE NAILS IN MY HANDS AND MY FEET

JUDAS WAS A NARC AND TURNED ME INTO THE HEAT

WELL MARY SMILED AT JESUS

WHILE SHE OPENED HIS VEIN

WITH A NEEDLE WHILE HE MURMURED

FATHER AM I INSANE

IS THIS HEAVEN IS IT HELL

OR AM I JUST LOST

FOREVER AS THE JUNKIE

SON OF GOD ON A CROSS

(chorus)

DADDY DIG THE NAILS IN MY HANDS AND MY FEET

JUDAS WAS A NARC AND TURNED ME INTO THE HEAT
