One more prick

One more cigarette

One more suck

One more pirouette

And I’ll have had enough

Just one word

I’ll only be a sec

And another then a third

‘til we are ill met

One more taste

One touch - One go

A last little look

And I’ll never ask for more

One more spike

One snort - One slurp

That’ll be sufficient

‘Cos the drugs do work

One more chomp

And another little kiss

One more stomp

Just another little hit

One more image

Thought becomes desire

A fiddle and a grope

While the city’s on fire

One more snigger

One little snooze

One perfect figure

Goes shopping for shoes

I love using

I love being used

I love choosing

The things I’m given

One fag one fanny

A cigarette of dope

Am I dying daddy

Or shall I dig the moat.
