 [Ab]    This is a song with a message,

I[Ab] want you to heeeeed my warning.

{section: Verse 1}
a[Ab]nna tell you all a story, about this chick I know.
They call her Anphetamine Annie, an' she's always shovelin' snow.

I[C#] sat her down and told her, I told her crystal clear

I[Ab] don't mind you gettin' high but there's one thing you should fear

Y[Eb]our mind might think it's flyin' b[C#]aby on those litte pills      B

 [Ab]
 [Eb] [Stop]
But you ought to know it's dyin' cause, speed kills!

{section: Verse 2}
B[Ab]ut Annie kept on speedin', her health was gettin' poor

She saw things in the window, she heard things at the door

Her mouth was like a grindin' mill, her lips where cracked and soar

h[Ab]er skin was turnin' yella', I just couldn't take it no more

S[Eb]he thought her mind was flyin'[C#], on those litte pills

 [Ab]
 [Eb] [Stop]
She didn't know it was going down fast, cause speed kills!

{section: Verse 3}
W[Ab]ell I sat her down and told her, I told her one more time

The whole wide human raice has taken far too much melamine

S[C#]he said "I don't care what a lyma[?] says, I got to get it on

I[Ab]'m not hip to the seen of the man who come from across the pond"

S[Eb]he wouldn't heed my warnin', lord sh[C#]e wouldn't hear what I said

N[Ab]ow she's here in the grave yard, and she, awf[Eb]ully dead

Speed from over the pond.

T[Ab]here ain't no hope baby...

Y[Ab]aa, aah hah.

S[Ab]poon a Spoon a Spoon.... huah [fade]
