**** has it really been that long?
or maybe it was longer?
We were young I know
he must've been only 15 or 16
God, his parents hated me
I was 18 or maybe 19
long joints rolled up like magic
Magic that flew us far away
from all the pain that they
those parents who hated us
had caused.

We drank well into the night
large pints of booze
that had to have been larger than pints
the amber glass bottles piled up
our bodies piled up
1 after another we piled up
as drug induced
liquor induced
sleepiness stole our souls.

The sun burning holes through our eyes
the light shotting pains through our heads
"cough cough"
Ah ****, another day
I'm tired of passing out
the bed wet and soiled with
the devils juice passing through
theres got to be another way?

Pills coming in
mostly stole from our young
14 year old a.d.h.d friends
Damn kids cant keep still
they bounce around all god damn night
as we sleep, as the
pot we smoked
booze we drank
took away
our energy to stay
****, okay.. give me one of those pills kid!

Haven't ate in days
running on the fuel
supplied by
St. Pauli's girl
PBR mary jane and my new friend crank.
At least I haven't met jack
The jack I know runs in the same circle with St. Pauli's girl
But he, my friend who was there from start to end
he lets jack in on a journey by vessel
they nod they nod
they sleep
I stay
they sleep
I stay
I steal, i cheat, I lie
but still I stay
they sleep.

Wake up!! Wake up!!
wake the **** up!
Guns drawn
Panick, Oh no
no no no
Panick
I freeze
They reach for my purse
pull out my wallet
Size me up and down
down and up
hands touching, groping
Nothing nothing, I got nothing. Im awake!! Im awake god dammit!!
Walk to the window
longest walk in my life
each step terror, confusion
what the **** is going on!

Sirens
Loud, screeching loud sirens
lights, blue red red and blue and red
sirens
Guns drawn, point to his back
him and jack taken out the side door
he nods, they nod
Its him, we got him
Sirens, loud, they nod he nods
behind the shimmering glass,
below the blue red and blue and red red and blue lights
he nods, they nod
they go and I stay
God, there has to be another way?
