the demon

by Frank Lee

Only problem I got with drugs and alcohol

Only problem I got with drugs and alcohol
Got the demon in my veins
Got the demon in my veins
Cant control it
Cant control it
Starts off innocent
Starts off innocent
Always ending up in jail

Got the demon in my veins
Got the demon in my veins
I know I got a good heart
I know I got a good heart
But I only know when to start
But I only know when to start
Always ending up in jail
Is when there aren’t any.

Is when there aren’t any.

This could be put to music and played as benediction at an AA meeting or NA meeting. The double repeats are a great tool to convey the jittery, yet rock solid monkey on an addicts shoulders. This took me to one particular AA meeting I was in one time in a coffee house,(the meeting after the meeting) listening to ex crack heads compare notes... this poetic refrain almost seemed like deja vu. Great job.
