She’s Like Heroin Lyrics
She's like heroin, sipping through a little glass
I'm looking for some help, I need someone to save her ass
Chinese tricks in rooms with ghosts of hooker girly dudes
Me and heroin, maybe we can make some cash selling
[Chorus: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
[Verse 2: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
She wants nothing more but to be a little whore
He wants nothing less but to wear a little dress
She's like heroin, sipping through a little glass
I'm looking for some help, I need someone to make some cash selling
[Chorus: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
Ass! Selling ass for heroin
[Interlude: Daron Malakian & Serj Tankian]
La-la-la-la-la, la, la, la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la, la, la-la
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
She's like heroin, sipping through a little glass
I'm looking for some help, I need someone to save her ass
She wants nothing more but to be a little whore
He wants nothing less but to wear a little dress
She's like heroin, sipping through a little glass
I'm looking for some help, I need someone to save her ass
Chinese tricks in rooms with ghosts of hooker girly dudes
Me and heroin, maybe we can make some cash
[Outro: Daron Malakian]
She's like heroin, sipping through a little glass
I'm looking for some help, I need someone to save my ass

Q&A
Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
In the early ‘80s, all you’d see on Sunset Boulevard were prostitutes. That was before it got cleaned up. So that’s how I think of Hollywood. People who don’t live here see it as a fantasy land. But I see people giving up their morals, giving up their lives, giving up everything for this town. All the girls who came here to be actresses and ended up as porn stars; all the girls who came here to be models and ended up strippers… You talk to six or seven out of ten porn stars and they’d probably rather be doing something else. Strippers, too. […] They can end up on the street selling their asses too. It doesn’t have to be in a physical way, either; you can actually feel like you made it and still be selling your ass. I sold my ass before.
