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

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

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

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

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, high, high, oh

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

Tell me what 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, just to get high

Circle in the drain, throw it all away

Just to get high
