Hungry for another shot



You reach for the hypodermic needle 



Is it there? No itÂÂ's not





The monkey on your back is jumping



Scratching and biting your neck



It forces you to want that fix



Makes you feel like a total wreck





YouÂÂ're going cold turkey you know youÂÂ're gonna shake



YouÂÂ're going cold turkey, you know youÂÂ're gonna sweat



Till it feels like youÂÂ're drowning



YouÂÂ're reliving a nightmare awake



YouÂÂ're going cold turkey



You know, youÂÂ're gonna sweat and shake





The worst part is over, 



But withdrawelÂÂ's yet to come



The fits of vomiting are dying down



But the days seem so long





The monkey is getting weaker



But still its waiting to get fed



You gotta shrug that monkey off your shoulder



Then the addiction, will be dead





YouÂÂ're going cold turkey you know youÂÂ're gonna shake



YouÂÂ're going cold turkey, you know youÂÂ're gonna sweat



Till it feels like youÂÂ're drowning



YouÂÂ're reliving a nightmare awake



YouÂÂ're going cold turkey



You know, youÂÂ're gonna sweat and shake





The shaking is now over, 



and the sweat is drying out



But the memory still lingers, 



in your mind there is some doubt



Another few days of isolation, 



another few hours of consultation



Then the monkey on your back will drop



The addiction, it will stop
