lyrics

When I said farewell to Whisky Hills I meant it o those fun trips to Rum Springs they had to end. no more Mexican death breath that’s freshly minted I’m just here to say we won’t see me again. So I sold the place that faced Talkin’ Beer Mountain our times together drinking there I’ll miss said adeau to Mountain Dew with Gordon’s So I’m here just cuz this here’s the end of this. I got a new boyfriend and his name is Opium he restores my equilibrium my new highness Royal Opium things that once would make us smile now make me feel like such a child now I pledge allegiance to my one my royal highness Opium There is only room for one in my affections so this business with the cannabis will cease though our totally baked lifestyle’s become legend I’ve come to find I find no memories Marijuana now our long affair is over I felt so sure that what we had was love tho you never failed me as my daylight number at night there’s now another I dream of I got me religion my soul belongs to Opium he quells the pandemonium Lord God Almighty Opium we all grow up sometime we leave our childish ways behind there is more to life than fun there’s the sacred church of Opium You be a flying crying crocodile of vengeance You be on your knees tweeting Jesus thanks You be free from all these distracting illusions You be on your way to how it all began You be sensing all the things you thought were gone now You be getting how the holy ones transcend You be caring not so mucho who but how now You be on your way to how it all will end Witness all the bliss within this cornucopia from an iceberg of euphoria calm and cool you kill Colosio we all will die someday then all of this will float away still never will I long forget her heated breath upon my neck
