Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars
Oak tree you’re in my way
There’s too much coke and too much smoke
Look what’s going on inside you
Oh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Oh that smell
The smell of death surrounds 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
Oh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Oh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Now they call you Prince Charming
Can’t speak a word when you’re full of ‘ludes
Say you’ll be all right come tomorrow
But tomorrow might not be here for you
Oh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Oh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Hey, you’re a fool you
Stick them needles in your arm
I know I been there before
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
Oh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Oh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
Oh that smell
Can’t you smell that smell
Oh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you
