Just to Get High
He was my best friend, I tried to help himBut he traded everything for sufferingAnd found himself alone
I watched the lying, turn into hidingWith scars on both his lips, his fingertipsWere melted to the bone
But I can still rememberWhat his face looked likeWhen I found him in an alleyIn the middle of the night
Tell me what you knowTell me what you gone and done nowTell me what you knowTell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick, get it over withYou're better off to take all thatYou've got and burn it on the spotJust to get high
Three days no sleeping, he gave up eatingHe sold his mother's rings, she said nothingAnd pretended not to know
He started stealing to supply the feelingFound out he pulled a knife on someone's wifeAnd held it to her throat
But I can still rememberWhat his face looked likeWhen I found him in an alleyIn the middle of the night
Tell me what you knowTell me what you gone and done nowTell me what you knowTell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick, get it over withYou're better off to take all thatYou've got and burn it on the spotJust to get high
Tell me what you did, where you gone and hid?Show me what you really want, was it what you got?Slowly circle in the drain, throw it all awayJust to get high, high, high, oh
Tell me what you knowTell me what you gone and done nowTell me what you knowTell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick, get it over withYou're better off to take all thatYou've got and burn it on the spotJust to get high
Tell me what did, where you gone and hid?Show me what you really want, was it what you got?Slowly circle in the drain, throw it all awayJust to get high, just to get highCircle in the drain, throw it all awayJust to get high
