Crack Baby
by Rusty Shipp

Album: Mortal Ghost

Verse 1
Ooh, I'm a crack, baby, living in a cracked world
All I need's a quick fix, baby
Can't you see it's what I was made for?
Well, I heard the word on the street
Told me the first one's always free
So go on and plug me in the wall, baby
Ain't no such thing as being free
Give me something pink and frilly
Something warm and sweet
To distract me from thinking
'Bout these cold, blood-red machines

Chorus
It's my kryptonite
It gets in my eyes and eats me inside
When I get so high
You just hang me to dry and get on with life

Verse 2
Yeah, 'cause I'm a sinner, lady
There I said it, what more do you want?
Well so is everybody on the planet
So tell me what's just one sin more?
Yeah, 'cause I'm a crack, baby
Born into a crack-filled world
I told you to give me my fix, baby!
No, I ain't singing about no stinkin' girl
Or am I?
Am I falling in love?
Or maybe could it be
Just another drug?

Chorus
It's my kryptonite
It gets in my eyes and eats me inside
When I get so high
You just hang me to dry and get on with life

Verse 3
Won't you fix this crack, baby?
If I see it I'm gonna want it
Crack baby
Won't you give me my fix?
Crack baby
I'm gonna cry till I get it
Crack baby
Please, hear my pleas!
Won't you help me, oh, Jesus?
