I met this girl in Mexico with fandango in her eyes
She said she danced for JFK wearing his disguise
She's been drinking warm tequila since the magic bullet fired
Waiting for the meter by her barstool to expire

She can't kick the habit
She's got to have it
She can't kick the habit
She's got to have it

Everywhere there's an angle Jimmy's there to sink that shot
There's nothing like a spin to win when he's almost getting caught
He's been grifting twenties for so damn long he's forgotten there were tens
Believing life is plenty when there's no such thing as friends

He can't kick the habit
He's got to have it
He can't kick the habit
He's got to have it

Damn I'm broken - don't fix me...don't fix me
Damn I'm broken - just gimme the fix...just gimme the fix

Standing on the corner of the girl she used to be
Starry-eyed and fixed to glide because even love's not free
Jenny's got a hole to fill -- and not just in her arm
She knows how things forbidden have their secret charm

She can't kick the habit
She's got to have it
She can't kick the habit
She's got to have it

Everyone who is anyone can't wait to shake his hand
He's the golden boy, the real McCoy, the key to the promised land
But before he wears Armani he's got to wear Chanel
Caught between his lipstick and his public life is hell

He can't kick the habit
He's got to have it
He can't kick the habit
He's got to have it

Damn I'm broken - don't fix me...don't fix me
Damn I'm broken - just gimme the fix...just gimme the fix

Underneath the boardwalk on a yellow day in June
You were aching to be hunted so I speared you in your moon
Every time the tide is high now all you do is howl
You're midnight in the garden and I'm sunset on the prowl

She can't kick the habit
She's got to have it
She can't kick the habit
She's got to have it

Laying in the dark blue there's a groove that must be kicked
It's an ageless caged addiction whose compulsion can't be licked
Some say that it's music but they don't bleed and breathe its fire
I was born a lifetime sworn still walkin on its wire

He can't kick the habit
He's got to have it
He can't kick the habit
He's got to have it

Damn I'm broken - don't fix me...don't fix me
Damn I'm broken - just gimme the fix, just gimme the fix
