Pills

i necked a couple’a avils

when i was a stupid kid

they fucked my gut i popped a nut

and flipped my fucking lid

i saw tigers in the suburbs

i saw a tiger in my bed

that rubber night was stretched out tight

and shit it filled my head

serepax and ginger wine

an evening about to be diverted

in the suburb next to hell

and there near hades i flirted

the pills and piss it fucked me up

a whole night chemically erased

still don’t know just what i did

or the demons that i chased

i took a tuinol siesta once

and woke up in the street

escalated usage beat my tolerance

but for a while it was fuckin sweet

i’ve woken up in a gutter

i’ve woken up in a cell

woken up broken

another glimpse of hell

in codeine we place faith

a sign of our chemical trust

you don’t take it cause you need it

you just take cause you must

you take it cause it fucks you up

and it’s better than hangin’ out

you it take cause you love that shit

and that’s what it’s all about
