Opium Trail - John Norum

I took a line

That leads you to the Opium Trail

Oh your cires

You feel the rise to seek the Trail

On this journey behold one who travels far

You called him fool, but now you are

The wizard wanders through the world he made from dreams

The splahing whirlpool drowns the frightened screams

Exotic dances flashing lenses this mysterious space

The fanfare advances, the wall of thoughts may break

It clears your pain, but it’s got to cling again, my love

You feel the need, but it lets you bleed

You must be seen my love

No one to blame, no shame, you crave again and again, my love

No use to plead, from you it feeds

Don’t grieve, my love

Oh, it’s got you my love

I took a line that comes from the golden states of sham

The smugglers trail that leads you to the opium den

The chinese connection binds to heroin

The part the heart you crave again

It clears your pain, but it leads you bleed

You must be seen, my love

No one to blame, no shame, you crave again and again, my love

No use to plead, from you it feeds

Don’t grieve my love

Oh, it’s got you, my love
