i used to get high
but now i don't have to anymore
open hands turn to fists of stone
when what we want becomes our very own
you can hose it down shine it to a gleam
you can show it off make the neighbours green
patients circle waiting rooms
with catheters in tow
the sick ones cannot wait to leave
and the healthy - they don't wanna go
at the break of dawn or maybe just before
the day arrives already wanting more
a spinning leaf twisting in the wind
i needed you to tell me where i've been
patients circle waiting rooms
with catheters in tow
the sick ones cannot wait to leave
and the healthy - they don't wanna go
