[Verse 1]
A junkie walking through the twilight
I'm on my way home
I left three days ago
But no one seems to know I'm gone
Home is where the hatred is
Home is filled with pain
And it might not be such a bad idea
If I never, never went home again
[Verse 2]
Stand as far away from me as you can
And ask me why
Hang onto your rosary beads
Close your eyes and watch me die
You keep sayin', "Kick it, quit it"
Lord, but did you ever try?
To turn your sick soul inside-out
So that the world, so that the world
Can watch you die
[Verse 3]
Home is where I live inside
White powder dreams
Home was once an empty vacuum
That's filled now with my silent screams
Home is where the needle marks
Try to heal my broken heart
It might not be such a bad idea
If I never, never went home again
[Verse 4]
Stand as far away from me as you can
And ask me why
Hang onto your rosary beads
Close your eyes to watch me die
[Verse 5]
You keep sayin', "Kick it, quit it"
Lord, but did you ever try?
To turn your sick soul inside-out
So that the world, so that the world
Can watch you die
Can watch you die
Watch you die
Watch you die
[Verse 6]
You say, "Kick it," you keep saying, "Quit it"
But did you ever try
To turn your sick soul inside-out...
