Codeine (Live at First Avenue)

[Verse 1]
Well, I ain't your baby, I ain't your baby now
Them holy rollers got kicked right out of town
It's dark where I've been stayin'
Don't you worry and come on in
Well, I've finally found a friend
I've found a friend

[Chorus]
Codeine, Codeine
You're the nicest thing I've seen
For a while, for a while

[Verse 2]
Well, you hold my hand as I step into the room
And all these people, they'll all be fadin' soon
Well, it's whisper time remembered
Through armored thorns and knives
And it's all that I've got left
To hold onto

[Chorus]
Codeine, Codeine
You're the nicest thing I've seen
For a while, for a while

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Well, you can keep your dusty bottle on your shelf
And you can keep your words of wisdom to yourself
I love you darling so
Why can't you just let me go?
Before you find me hanging in my cell

[Chorus]
Codeine, Codeine
You're the nicest thing I've seen
For a while, for a while
Codeine, Codeine
You're the nicest thing I've seen
For a while, for a while

[Audience Applause]
