This song has an amazing dichotomy, the first verse is about Mary, it's the spoon that is the troubled times, it's the fix that twists his mind, the first verse of the song is about how he's got something better, her. She paints over the sorrow that otherwise makes his days grey, and roses (something beautiful) on death (something ugly).
Then the second verse is the heroin, when he doesn't have it he goes through withdrawl ( cold, feel like dyin) And only heroin can fill the craving that he gets from this. Then when he shoots ,up he wants to cry either because it feels so good, or because he knows he's killin himself. Then the heroin paints sorrow onto his day, and if he dies while on heroin, it'll all be roses to him.
