This album was released in 1995 when “Heroin chic” was all the rage in the fashion world. The models typically were not on heroin, but the girl this song about certainly was and probably still is (one can hope). This song is an accurate accounting of how it feels to be in love with an heroin addict....
I used to know a girl
She had two pierced nipples and a black tattoo
We'd drink that Mexican beer, we'd live on Mexican food
Yeah, I wish I could go back
Yes, back in time
Esther used to be the kind of girl that you would never leave, yeah
She'd do anything to give me what I need for my disease
She'd do anything
I can hear them talking in the real world
Yeah, but they don't understand
That I'm happy in hell with my heroin girl
Yeah, with a heroin girl
Esther used to be the kind of lover that you would never leave, yeah
Ah, she'd do anything to give me what I need for my disease
She'd do anything
I can hear them talking in the real world
Yeah, but they don't understand
That I'm losing myself in a white trash hell
Lost inside a heroin girl
Yeah, with a heroin girl
Yeah
They found her out in the fields about a mile from home
Her face was warm from the sun but her body was cold
I heard a policeman say, "just another overdose"
Just another overdose
Esther used to be the kind of lover you would never leave, yeah
She'd do anything to give me what I need for my disease
She would do anything
