|
Ritchie was an old friend of mine |
|
He took lots of pills to pass the time |
|
Used to be filled with political conviction |
|
He started to struggle with heroin addiction [Chorus:] |
|
His skin turned cold and his face turned blue |
|
Not yet 30 but it happened to you |
|
Russian Roulette with a needle in your vein |
|
A junkies life ends up the same |
|
It seems like he changed overnight |
|
He took more dope to feel alright |
|
Didn't pay attention to the warning signs |
|
Started living on borrowed time [Chorus:] |
|
His skin turned cold and his face turned blue |
|
Not yet 30 but it happened to you |
|
Russian Roulette with a needle in your vein |
|
A junkies life ends up the same |
|
I'm so sorry but |
|
I can't go on |
|
He lost his strength to carry on |
|
Shot a speed ball into his vein |
|
To end his life and to end the pain |
