/Oh well my mom never beat me
My dad never mistreated me
And I turned out no good all the same
So now I'm here on the street
And I do like my treats
And I got not 25 cents to my name/

Now for me to get straight costs a big buck three eighty
And you know I don’t got dollar one
So I’m waiting for mine in the methadone line
Now I’ve come down to the end of my run

She’s standing in line and she’s looking so fine
Like no junkie bitch I’ve ever known
So I follow her feet as they walk down the street
And go into her building alone

She’s the girl next door to the methadone clinic
Every bit as sweet as she seems
And believe me its true, what all I would not do
For Dolophina the girl of my dreams

So now she's gliding past Sixth and she's sliding past Seventh
To a deli on Eighth Avenue
Trading spit-backs for six-packs and cigarettes and such
We'll have good beer and sandwiches, too

And we'll sit on her sofa and we'll watch television
You know the old movies run until dawn
And we'll reminisce sweetly through I Dream of Jeannie
And hold hands when the adverts come on

With the girl next door to the methadone clinic
Every bit as sweet as she seems
And believe me its true, what all I would not do
For Dolophina the girl of my dreams

So now its goodbye to the D Train and the hotdogs at Needick's
Well I'll trouble your sad precincts no more
And Thompson Street Pete I no longer meet
For that desperate mid-morning score

And include me out please on your beat quarter tease
Now I know what my dollar is worth
I got all what I need and it's right here in Chelsea
I got my piece of heaven on earth

With the girl next door to the methadone clinic
Every bit as sweet as she seems
And believe me its true, what all I would not do
For Dolophina the girl of my dreams
