I'll tell you a secret that very few know One of life's great mysteries, it may save you some woe You're young and strong, healthy and able You cannot imagine being old and unstable
Your mind cannot grasp the power of addiction It won't catch you at all, it's just someone's fiction How could it catch you when you don't like the taste Ah, yet it can very quickly, but not in haste
The secret my friend and remember it well Are the steps that you go through when you end up in hell There are only two steps, not four or five Just two tiny steps and then you arrive
Step One - you don't like it, it's nearly a chore You could stop tomorrow, it's just such a bore Step Two - you must have it, see how things change How did that happen, it's really quite strange
From Step One to Step Two with nothing between them Not a stop, not a pause it's really quite awesome Then you will learn a feeling quite new We call it withdrawal which gives you your cue
Each time you feel it you must light another And another and another and another and another Millions have thought they would not take Step Two Can you see them clearly? Just look around you
