Opium Lyrics - The Early Years, Vol. 1 - Jump Little Children

"Do you smoke opium?" he said 

As he opened my wallet on the street 

I said, please god please 

Can you breathe just a little softer? 

It's hard enough to stand up straight 

Cause i'm beat 

Don't call your girlfriend on the phone 

There's lots of other numbers you can use 

Get this dial tone off me 

Let's go out and get some coffee 

Caffeine will make you less and less confused 

(Thats what you need 

believe me when i tell you) 

I didn't want to be Chinese 

I just ended up in this part of town 

I'm an entertainer 

And i will try to make you saner 

Please turn your frown upside down

Here, take a look upon my face 

Its dark, I know you can't see at all 

But try and take some notice 

And least try and focus 

Or else youre going to stumble or even fall 

Chorus: 

And there's one man coming from the south land 

just off the new fix, the sleeve tricks 

Strike it up if Judah sticks 

The brass band holds hands 

right across the new land 

And have an ancient pay your rent 

At least conceal your identity 

Cause it's cheaper when it's free 

The warble in the purple and 

The bubble's in trouble again

So I heard there was a murder just upstairs 

I saw the graffiti on the van 

The tears on her cheek 

They were as clean as a squeak 

A crack in the window and they ran 

Please let me hold you by the belt 

The fall is at least three stories down 

It's easier I swear 

Comb your teeth and brush your hair 

A few flights of steps and were into town 

"do you smoke opium?" he said 

As he offered the back seat of a cab 

If you have no quid 

Then don't you even make a bid 

don't you worry I'll just put it on your tab 

The yellow of the hood began to roar 

And the seat became soft or so it seemed 

Just press it to your skin and 

Let the fun begin 

And the music in your throat will make you scream 

Chorus: 

And theres one man coming from the southland... 

You dont know me but I'm famous 

You might even like me, given a chance 

Im nervous and im shaking 

Im toasted and im still baking 

From this drug that gives this evening such romance 

"Do you smoke opium?" he said 

As we walked into the early morning grey 

With my hand upon his sleeve 

Before i took my leave 

I said "no, and now i'll be on my way" 

Chorus 2X
