A Junkie's Tale

Johnny put a needle in his vein
Just so he would feel no pain 
Until he finally went insane 
Then he died alone in vain 
Had a funeral - No one came 
Only his tombstone says his name 
What a pity - Such a shame 
Johnny put a needle in his vein

This would make the beginning to a very sad but poignant lyric. Nicely written Kiley.
