lyrics

When I said farewell to Whisky Hills, I meant it
so 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 adieu 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
