Not above a spliff or two

Always horny when he’s had a few

Always funny when you’re down

And always good to have around.

Will always give you what you need

So much fun when he’s had speed

Always hard to say goodbye

And I never thought I'd see you cry.

Now his world falls apart

I can see it break his heart

Now he doesn’t know who to trust

Fourteen years medicated have turned to dust.

Now he’s lost inside his hell

And dragging others down as well

Soon there will be no one there

Just him, his demons and his despair.
