Jump, Little Children - “Opium”

In honor of studying opiates for Pharmacology…

You don’t know me but I’m famous
You might even like me given a chance
I’m nervous and I’m shaking
I’m toasted and I’m still baking
From this drug that gives this evening such romance

“Do you smoke opium?” he said
Aas we walked into the early morning gray
With my hand upon his sleeve
Before I took my leave
I said “no and now I’ll be on my way.”
