I used to fake it a lot, so I could take it a lot,
used to pop one at the break of day
when I didn't get it, the wall, yeah I would just hit it,
I just couldn't carry on that way
oh, this is addictive I know it's true
didn't know to write some lyrics, but I'm tryin to

I have no resistance, I'm whacked out
on my talwin
it's a medical assistant, when I'm out
on the talwin..

I'll be talkin about it, I got nothin else to do
when my dose comes down, I know just what to do
take a talwin

you know I don't understand, why I don't quickly get better?
do the crazy things that I do
all the analgesics in my drawer,
couldn't hold a candle to you
will it make me go bad, will it make me psychotic?
will I miss my sweet Royce when I'm taking narcotics?

ask me why I take it?
I'm freaked out, on my talwin
doctor says to take it, just lie down,
you're on talwin

withdrawal, it starts me shakin,
when again should I be takin
one more talwin
ooh I want to thank you, baby talwin
