Words and Music © 1990 by John Tabacco
Published by It Iz What It Iz Music (SESAC)

This was the first 24 track piece I recorded at Modern Voices Studios.
It was originally created at Backdoor Studios before it closed in December 1989.

lyrics

SILENT JUNKIE

You never moved,
Always took the safest route to please your soul
Selling your groove
Meant to keep a quiet eye and play a roll

Safe thoughts inside your tears when you'd over load
Safe thoughts to hide your fears and keep you cold...

Silent junkie in a tin can
(make electrical impulses arc)
Silent junkie in a tin can
(if you "open" it never grows dark)
And it's ok to be alive and spit at the sun

You always won,
Always pleasing daddy at the drop of three
Having some fun, meant a reminiscing of the family tree

Safe thoughts to cool your tongue over daddy's rules
Safe thoughts the day you hung in daddy's shoes...

Silent junkie in a tin can
(make electrical impulses arc)
Silent junkie in a tin can
(if you "open" it never grows dark)
And it's ok to be alive and spit at the sun

Silent junkie in a tin can
(make electrical impulses arc)
Silent junkie in a tin can
(if you move on it never grows dark )
And it's ok to be alive
Yeah, and spit at the sun
