Just to Get High

He was my best friend, I tried to help him But he traded everything, for suffering And found himself alone I watched the lying, turn into hiding With scars on both his lips, his fingertips Were melted to the bone But I can still remember what his face looked like When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now! Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now! A gun would do the trick, get it over with You're better off To take all you've got and burn it on the spot Just to get high-igh-igh-igh Three days no sleeping, he gave up eating He sold his mother's rings, she said nothing And pretended not to know He started stealing, to supply the feeling Found out he pulled a knife, on someone's wife... And held it to her throat But I can still remember what his face looked like When I found him in an alley in the middle of the night Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now! Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now! A gun would do the trick, get it over with You're better off To take all that you've got and burn it on the spot Just to get high-igh-igh-igh Tell me what you did, where you got it hid? Show me! Is it what you really want, watching what you've got slowly Circle in the drain, throw it all away Just to get high-igh-igh-igh Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now! Tell me what you know! Tell me what you gone and done now! Gonna do the trick, get it over with You're better off To take all that you've got and burn it on the spot Just to get high-igh-igh-igh Tell me what you did, where you got it hid? Show me!
