Seems like your heart stops workingThe minute they close the curtainYou take off your maskAnd take off your costumeAnd if anyone asks you're taking a small breakDrinking some coffeeBut everyone knows what you're doing
Seems like the bus moves slowerJust cause you got somewhere to goSo you take a few pills in Beverly HillsBut if anyone asks you've got a prescriptionYou got an addictionWho do you think that you're fooling?
John Doe, I just want the John I knowOnce you put the drinks on holdMaybe you could come back homeJohn Doe, ooh oh oh ooohOooh oh oh ohooh ooohOooh oh oh ohooh oooh
Everybody's addicted to somethingEverybody's got to grip onto somethingEven if it's just to feel the response of a pillMaybe once, maybe twiceMaybe hundreds of times, hundreds of timesWithout it, it's just harder to function at timesYou race to the bottom of every single bottleAs if there was someone or something to findYou struggle in your mindAnd you tell yourself lie after lie'Til you get to the point where it's no longer privatePeople that you work with noticed the signsWhen you walk in the roomIt gets noticeably quietSo you break up the silence, you say you've been at the gymBut the way that you look, can't blame on a dietSo what you hiding?

Yeah, I've probably had too many thingsSmashed too many freaksHad too much to dro...(I mean)Had too much to drinkLeft the club, ended up in custodyRandom drug test, passed it luckilyMy girl broke up with me cause she walked in suddenlyWith a woman up under meI told her, "Wait!It ain't what it look like!I must've slipped and fell, clumsy me!"Well, at least I admit it, cause the worst you could doIs to do it and not be man enough to say that you did itThat's just how you prevent it, well I ain't no differentI love all the money, the fameAnd the parties with beautiful womenI spent so much time as an underground artistCause I was afraid to succumb to the businessAnd what I'd becomeBut that what you judge you becomeThe path with the greatest resistanceThat's how the tables can turn, when they pivotAnd change your perspective and flip your entire positionMy whole life I've been dying and wishing to live and experienceEverything possibleWhen I told them my dreams, they just said it ain't logicalNow, I can see it - it's optical
