This is one I wrote a long time ago and just found it, made a few tweaks
Gutterdog's and alleycats
The dangers of opposites attract
Toxic together lethal apart
Like a heroin needle straight through the heart
Yesterdays Marylin and James Dean
They've become tomorrows junkie trashqueens
She lost her looks and he lost his charms
They're hidden in the trackmarks up there arms
So they may look like dirt that you kick in the street
Begging for money at your feet
They may look like something you should ignore
A filthy drugged up punk and his junkie whore
But think to yourself, who made them this way?
Turning to narcotics to face the day
We turned up our noses when we should have helped them
Think about that when they OD in a crackden.
