Amphetamine Annie Songtext

von Canned Heat

This is a song with a message, won't you to heed my warning

I wanna tell you all a story about this chick I know
They call her "Amphetamine Annie"
She's always shovelling snow
I sat her down and told her, I told her crystal clear
"I don't mind you gettin' high
But there's one thing you should fear
Your mind might think it's flying, baby on those little pills
But you ought to know it's dying 'cause speed kills"

But Annie kept on speedin', her health was gettin' poor
She saw things in the window, she heard things at the door
Her mind was like a grinding mill
Her lips were cracked and sore
Her skin was turning yellow, I just couldn't take it no more
She thought her mind was flying on those little pills
She didn't know it was going down fast 'cause speed kills
Yeah, speed can kill you, too baby

Well, I sat her down and told her, I told her one more time
"The wholew ide human race has taken
Far too much methedrine"
She said "I don't care what a Limey says, I've got to get it on
I'm not hip to the scene of the man
Who come from across the pond"
She wouldn't heed my warning
Lord, she wouldn't hear what I said
Now she's in the graveyard and she's awfully dead
