Cold Turkey Lyrics

Temperature's rising
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 baby
I wish I was dead

Cold turkey has got me on the run

My body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Can't see no body
Leave me alone

My eyes are wide open
Can't get to sleep
One thing I'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze

Cold turkey has got me on the run

Cold turkey has got me on the run

Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
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
Oh, oh, oh, oh

This song is awesome, but it would make an excellent remake!

There's a pretty good one by Lenny Kravitz on Youtube too. Such a great track - wonderful guitar licks.

It's about kicking the heroin habit.

No shit, Sherlock.

It amazes me how heroin can inspire so many songs.

The acoustic version of this song rips it up. The one with the Plastic Ono Band is okay, but it's much better raw with just a lone guitar.

obviously about withdrawel from drugs or alcohol...i think it's about john's own experience so then it probably is drugs

This song is amazing, the original one is kinda poppy.

....compared to the acoustic version.

I haven't heard the acoustic version! Detective! You're kinda funny, but I agree! I think my beloved John Lennon got crazy at the end of the song!
