lyrics

here’s a way to go all that whispers how it will make you strong
keep you awake all night long make you laugh like you belong
rushing around from inside out emptiness that you should doubt
make your loved ones cry and shout leave you flat broke down and out

turn your dreams to iron and rust leave your skin an empty crust
scraping floors for a bit more dust or baby’s feet because you must
see a hag from a beauty queen change this home to a black latrine
smurf your shops for ephedrine, a hungry ghost with a busted spleen

methamphetamine

here’s some dude with lots of dough selling out the people’s soul
cording stove with heat on low, he don’t care what you don’t know
hydrochloric and benzene, drano, flame, and gasoline
pistols in a ripped blue jean bloody red on the dead street scene

methamphetamine

give me rocks and eightballed crank and tell me who I have to thank
biker beer and prostitute, children I can rob or loot
gravestone bankers buy me clean snorting tubes of magazine
God just help me sleep and dream
God just help me sleep and dream
God just help me sleep and dream

methamphetamine

swear if I could stop you now long before you don’t know how
stopping then it won’t allow addiction makes you bend and bow
crystal ice and words enough always trying to be so tough
God surrender and find love you are always worth that much
you are always worth that much
you are always worth that much

methamphetamine
