narcotic from Chaperone by Jesse Pilgrim
It's sort of about quitting smoking, but I have other frames of reference for the addiction theme. It's named after the movie by Duane and Hildegarde Esper. It probably has the most novelties of any song on the album.

Lyrics
Narcotic:
"Young men/with families to feed/scurry into shadows/like centipedes/And young women/with their whole lives to lead/bend like a willow/and gone to seed/Upon narcotics, automatons/without civility/It's so neurotic/sucking on the tit/of self-pity/Doctor, dear Doctor/made lots of friends/Made ten-fold more enemies/Hiding in an opium den/Lash out the spike strips/at every exit out of town/If the dragnets don't get you/the roadblocks don't stop you/The narcotic will smoke you out/Upon narcotics, automatons/without civility/It's so narco-sisstic sucking on the tit/of self-pity."
