The Speed Lady Song
A True Tale of the Boarder from the Border of Hell
Fattest tweaker I have ever known
Chubbiest I've ever seen
I always thought they were mere skin and bone
On the crystal methamphetamine
Tweak
Tweak
And then she starts to speak
And there's never a moment's peace
Just when she seems fine
Then she'll start in on the wine
And her furies never cease
Oh when the Speed Lady's in my house
I feel like a cornered mouse
Oh what I put up with for four hundred bucks
Her untreated paranoia raging Goddamns and fucks
How it fills my life with grief
And it also turns out she's a thief
When she jumps into my bed
How I wish that I were dead
When the Speed Lady's in my house
