Lyrics:

Temperature's risin'
Fever is high
Can't see no future
Can't see no sky

My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a junkie
I wish I was dead

Cold turkey has got me
On the run

My body is achin'
Goose pimple bone
Don't want nobody
Leave me alone

My eyes are wide open
Can't get no sleep
One thing I'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze

Cold turkey has got me
On the run

Thirty six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
To free me again

Oh, I'll be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell

Cold turkey has got me
On the run
