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
[Chorus]:
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´ve gone and done now
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you´ve gone and done now
A gun would do the trick
To get it over with
You´re better off
To take all that you got
N´ burn it on the spot
Just to get high, high,high
3 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
[Chorus]
Tell me what you did
Where you got it hid
Show me
Is what you really want
Watching what you´ve got
Slowly
Circling the drain
Throw it all away
Just to get high,high,high
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you´ve gone and done now
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you´ve gone and done now
A gun would do the trick
To get it over with
You´re better off
To take all that you got
N´ burn it on the spot
Just to get high,high,high
Tell me what you did
Where you got it hid
Show me
Is what you really want
Watching what you´ve got
Slowly
Circling the drain
Throw it all away
Just to get high, high,high
Just to get high,high,high
Circling the drain
Throw it all away
Just to get high.high,high
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
[Chorus]:
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´ve gone and done now
Tell me what you know
Tell me what you´ve gone and done now
A gun would do the trick
To get it over with
You´re better off
To take all that you got
N´ burn it on the spot
Just to get high, high,high
