Freezin' rests his head on a pillow made of concrete again ooh yeah
Oh feelin' maybe he'll see a little betters any days ooh yeah
Oh hand out faces that he sees come again ain't that familiar
Oh dark grin he can't help when he's happy he looks insane
Even flow
Thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet he'll begin his life again
Life again, life again
Kneelin' looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read, ooh yeah
Oh, prayin', now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin', understands the weather or that winters on its way
Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame, yeah
Even flow
Thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet he'll begin his life again
Oh whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away
Yeah
Woo
Oh yeah yeah fuck it up
Even flow
Thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet he'll begin his life again
Oh whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away
Yeah!
Woo
Uh huh yeah
Yeah yeah mommy, mommy
Oh feelin' maybe he'll see a little betters any days ooh yeah
Oh hand out faces that he sees come again ain't that familiar
Oh dark grin he can't help when he's happy he looks insane
Even flow
Thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet he'll begin his life again
Life again, life again
Kneelin' looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read, ooh yeah
Oh, prayin', now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin', understands the weather or that winters on its way

Even flow
Thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet he'll begin his life again
Oh whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away
Yeah

I hate to discourage interpretations, but this song is definitely not about heroin. That was more Cobain's scene as we all know, and the closet Eddie ever came to even referencing that particular drug was in "Spin the Black Circle" where Ed implies that his 'heroin' is symbolically music
"See this needle. I see my hand. Drop, drop, droppin it down.. Oh, so gently"
Of course the needle is not of the intravenenous type, but simply the needle of a record player.
Not totally true. While PJ was not at all a drug band, listen to the first verse of Deep, off Ten, and tell me it's not a reference to a guy shooting up.
