Amphetamine Annie Lyrics - Singles - Canned Heat

This is a song with a message 

I want you to heed my warning 

I wanna tell you all a story 

About this chick I know 

They call her "Amphetamine Annie" 

She's always shovelling snow 

I sat her down and told her 

I told her crystal clear 

"I don't mind you getting high 

But there's one thing you should fear" 

"Your mind might think its flying, baby 

On those little pills 

But you ought to know it's dying, 'cause 

Speed kills" 

But Annie kept on speeding 

Her health was getting poor 

She saw things in the window 

She heard things at the door 

Her mind was like a grinding mill 

Her lips were cracked and sore 

Her skin was turning yellow 

I just couldn't take it no more 

She thought her mind was flying 

On those little pills 

She didn't it was going down fast, 'cause 

Speed kills 

Well I sat her down and told her 

I told her one more time 

"The whole wide human race has taken 

Far too much methedrine" 

She said "I don't care what a Limey says, 

I've got to get it on 

I'm not here to just see no man 

Who come from across the pond 

She wouldn't heed my warning 

Lord, she wouldn't hear what I said 

Now she's in the graveyard, and she's 

Awfully dead
