Just To Get High

He was my best friend
I tried to help him
But he traded everything
for suffering
And found himself alone
I watched the lying
turn into hiding
With scars on both his lips
His fingertips
were melted to the bone


But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night


Tell me whatcha know
Tell me whatcha gone and done now

Tell me whatcha know
Tell me whatcha gone and done now
Gonna do the trick
Get it over with
You're better off
To take all that you got
N' burn it on the spot
Just to get high,high,high,high


Three days no sleeping
He gave up eating
He sold his mother's rings
She said nothing
And pretended not to know
He started stealing
To supply the feeling
Found out he pulled a knife
On someone's wife
And held it to her throat


But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night


Tell me whatcha know
Tell me whatcha gone and done now

Tell me whatcha know
Tell me whatcha gone and done now
Gonna do the trick
Get it over with
You're better off
To take all that you got
N' burn it on the spot
Just to get high,high,high,high


Tell me whatcha did
Where you got it hid
Show me
Is what you really want
Watching what you've got
Slowly
Circling the drain
Throw it all away
Just to get high,high,high,high


Tell me whatcha know
Tell me whatcha gone and done now

Tell me whatcha know
Tell me whatcha gone and done now
Gonna do the trick
Get it over with
You're better off
To take all that you got
N' burn it on the spot
Just to get high,high,high,high


Tell me whatcha did
Where you got it hid
Show me
Is what you really want
Watching what you've got
Slowly
Circling the drain
Throw it all away
Just to get high,high,high,high


Just to get high,high,high,high
Circling the drain
Throw it all away
Just to get high,high,high,high
