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 what you know, tell me what ya gone and done now

Tell me what you know, tell me what ya gone and done now

A gun would do the trick, get it over with, you're better off

To take all that you've got and burn it on the spot

Just to get 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 what you know, tell me what ya gone and done now

Tell me what you know, tell me what ya gone and done now

A gun would do the trick, get it over with, you're better off

To take all that you've got and burn it on the spot

Just to get high

Tell me what you did, where you got a hit, show me

Is what you really want watching all you got slowly

Circling the drain, throw it all away

Just to get high

High

High, oh

High

High

High

High

Tell me what you know, tell me what ya gone and done now

Tell me what you know, tell me what ya gone and done now

A gun would do the trick, get it over with, you're better off

To take all that you've got and burn it on the spot

Just to get high

Tell me what you did, where you got a hit, show me

Is what you really want watching all you got slowly

Circling the drain, throw it all away

Just to get high

Just to get high

Circling the drain, throw it all away

Just to get high
