THAT SMELL

Whiskey bottle and brand new cars,
oak tree, you're in my way.
There's too much Coke and too much smoke.
Look what's goin' on inside you.

      Oo-oo that smell,
      can't you smell that smell?
      Oo-oo that smell,
      the smell of death's around you.

Angel of darkness is upon you,
stuck a needle in your arm.
So take another toke, have a blow for your nose.
One more drink, fool, will drown you.

      Oo-oo that smell,
      can't you smell that smell?
      Oo-oo that smell,
      the smell of death's around you.

Now they call you Prince Charming,
can't speak a word when you're full of ludes.
Say you'll be alright, come tomorrow
but tomorrow might not be here for you.

      Oo-oo that smell,
      can't you smell that smell?
      Oo-oo that smell,
      the smell of death's around you.

One little problem that confronts you,
got a monkey on your back.
Just one more fix, Lord, might do the trick.
One hell of a price for you to get your kicks.

      Oo-oo that smell,
      can't you smell that smell?
      Oo-oo that smell,
      the smell of death's around you.

      Oo-oo that smell,
      can't you smell that smell?
      Oo-oo that smell,
      the smell of death's around you.
