my baby, he don't act like himself no more,
he lost that smile i used to adore
he spent his nights slapping his veins,
he lost that glow he used to have in his face,
empty burned bottle on the carpet
my baby lying beside it,
tin foil and melted sugar everywhere,
he said his provider was his pharmacist friend, ben
i swear i'm going to kill him because,
i swear i'm going to kill him
because
because
because

the poppy took my baby away from me
the poppy took my baby away from me
the poppy took my baby away from me
the poppy took my baby away from me

my baby used to repeat the news,
and now he talks about dragons on the walls,
he used to like german expression films,
now he drinks until he falls,
i was confused, didn't know what to do,
so i called his momma
had [bad word] on over,
she got him off the ground,
started slapping him around
and now she cried
she said
she said
she said

the poppy took my baby away from me,
the poppy took my baby away from me,
the poppy took my baby away from me,
the poppy took my baby away from me,
the poppy took my baby away from me,
the poppy took my baby away from me,
