Wedding for a Junkie
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy!
My name is…
Tammy?
Tammy got caught with a controlled substance
But really the substance controlled her
Controls her, still
‘Tis strange also-
Because this substance was not controlled
It was out of control
Is out of control, still
Tammy went to court today
I saw her there.
Woman, Woman, Woman
Your time is…
Running out
I saw you walk the vomit stained aisle
Lawyer at your side
“He abused me”
Used me
Sued me
“I used a controlled substance”
I abused a controlled substance
A slightly less controlling substance sued me.
Used, Abused, Sued,
You plead: Guilty
Then I saw her face
But I wasn't a believer
I saw her stiff face soften
The straight line curl into a frown
The courtroom door closed behind me
Before your first tear
Wet the ground
