Song lyrics Codiene by Donovan

An' my belly is craving,
I got shakin' in my head
I feel like I'm dyin'
an' I wish I were dead
If I lived till tomorrow
it's gonna be a long time
For I'll reel and I'll fall
and rise on codine
An' it's real,
an' it's real,
one more time

When I was a young man
I learned not to care
Wild whiskey, confronted
I often did swear
My mother and father
said whiskey is a curse
But the fate of their baby
is many times worse
An' it's real,
an' it's real,
one more time

You'll forget your woman,
you'll forget about man
Try it just once,
an' you'll try it again
It's sometimes you wonder
and it's sometimes you think
That I'm a-living my life
with abandon to drink
An' it's real,
an' it's real,
one more time

Stay away from the cities,
stay away from the towns
Stay away from the men
pushin' the codine around
Stay away from the stores
where the remedy is found
I will live a few days
as a slave to codine
An' it's real,
an' it's real,
one more time

An' my belly is craving,
I've got a shakin' in my head
An' I've started heating
whether my body said
Steady yourself
with the grains of cocaine
An' you'll end dead
or you'll end up insane
An' it's real,
an' it's real,
one more time

and rise on codine
An' it's real,
an' it's real,
one more time
An' it's real,
an' it's real,
one more time
