lyrics

Crystal smoke and
your mind is broken
98 miles per hour

Naked and alone
there’s no one home
Into a corner you cower

What you bought was cheap,
You can barely speak
It woulda happened one way or another

Your thoughts will flee,
you can't even read
Can you say motherfucker?

It’s not too hard.
That’s what you are. Say it.
I bet you could if you tried

Don’t try to deny it, there’s no way to hide it
Did you think I had lied?

Your uptown pad
One room aim’t bad
Can you see how youre livin'?

A disease that’s new
Did it get you too?
Heard lotsa people are givin’

Your friends, city folk
Heavy drinks and smokes
Hey, there goes another

Wrapped up in silk
Skin pale as milk
Their faces are covered

A distant thought
That you almost caught
Hey, how about that?

Is your head still together?
I couldn’t tell whether you were sleeping
or knocked out flat
