Methadone
Love like needle full of methadonePotent but not real left you wanting more
Lipstick track-marks bleeding wetLike Montagues and CapuletsFor us, child, the stars refuse to shineWhy for us, child, do the stars refuse to shine?
Somewhere strung out on the lamWe wound up back here againLike unstable chemicalsCombining only to explode
What would it take for you to noticeI am heart on fire and all the world’s a fuseSo don’t get closeThe trouble and the worthAm I better off on my own?
Contaminated quarantined then left aloneShipment refused, address unknown
Damaged goods they soon forgetIn choking dust where we got leftFor us all the stars refuse to shine
So tap the vein and light the matchWe burn like stars before the crashBut for you there’s still a chanceJust let go
What would it take for you to noticeThat I am heart on fire and all the world’s a fuseSo don’t get closeThe trouble and the worthI’m better off on my ownOn my own
But now there’s nowhere to runAnd yeah there’s nowhere to hideThere’s nothing under the sunWe haven’t already tried
What would it take for you to noticeThat I am a hand grenadePin already pulledSo don’t let goAs we chase the sunMy shadow slows us downWithout me alongYou’re better off and I knowYou’re better off and I knowAnd I know
