One More Trip
For the thrill of the high or for reasons arcane
A girl from the suburbs shoves a needle up her veins
But her parents send her off to rehab
For a second chance at sanity to grab
To find joy instead of pain
She had been off the stuff for quite a while
Trying to give up a destructive lifestyle
But she was haunted by the ghosts of the past
And took one more trip on a heroine blast
But this journey, would be her last.
