[Verse 1]
Temperature's rising
Fever is high
Can't see no future
Can't see no sky
My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead

[Chorus]
Cold turkey has got me on the run

[Verse 2]
My body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Can't see no body
Leave me alone (leave me alone)
My eyes are wide open
I can't get to sleep
One thing I'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze

[Chorus]
Cold turkey has got me on the run

[Verse 3]
Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone (praying to someone)
Free me again
Oh, I'll be a good boy
Sir, please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell

[Chorus]
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey has got me on the run
