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 wrists
His FINGERSTIPS were melted to the bone
But I can still remember what his face looked like
When I found him in an ally in the middle of the night
Tell me what ya know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what ya know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick
Get it over with
Your better off...
To take all you´ve got and burn it on the spot
JUST to get high-IGH, IGH, IGH (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 ally in the middle of the night
Tell me what ya know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Tell me what ya know
Tell me what you gone and done now
Gonna do the trick
Get it over with your better off...
To take all you´ve got and burn it on the spot
JUST to get high-IGH, IGH, IGH (HIGH-IGH,IGH,IGH)
Tell me what you did
Where you gone and hid
Show me...
What you really want, was it what you got?
Slowly...
Circle in the drain, throw it all away,
JUST to get high-IGH, IGH, IGH (HIGH-IGH,IGH,IGH)
HIGH-IGH, IGH...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
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 (HIGH-IGH,IGH,IGH)
