Heroin
Lyricist：David Jake Hamilton Wherry, Oliver Laurence Trattles, Tsidi A Ibrahim
My heroine is on heroin
But not bad heroin
The good heroin that rockstars take
And that heals the ache of the pain she's in
She's not dirty; she's past thirty
She plays acoustic guitar and the flute
And the harp and the theramin
On heroin, my heroine
And oh, in this dead town
The dead kids hang around
This must be Zion
They promised us Zion
My heroine is so beautiful
Her cheeks are hollowed out
God, She's beautiful
She orders jugs of wine
And wastes all her time
At the wishing well
She's a dreamer, I'm a dreamer
We are not like the others
We're the best of our brothers
We dreamers, we dreamers

You should see us
And oh, in this dead town
The dead kids hang around
This must be Zion
They promised us Zion
My heroine believes in something
Because something big must be happening
She carries books that belie her looks
And the pain she's in she sees singers
Who sing protest songs
That she already agrees with
She has afternoon teas with
Them, looks at the world
And the unthinkable wrongs
She sings, damn this dead town
Where the dead kids hang around
Bored to tears with the infinite peace
The chosen one, like everyone
She raises her eyes, raises her eyes
Raises her eyes and succumbs
