I don't know about sympathy...the song seems to be more of a warning about the dangers of drug abuse. He has been around a lot of folks that couldn't get enough, turned into junkies, and are "like a setting sun" pushing themselves to an inevitable end.

@speterso74 I was 13 when it came out, it was a good song, it gave you the direct message that heroin addiction was very damaging.
