Slow Drugs

I'm comin' down with something

Something rotten, something raw

I've been starin' at the ceiling

From my dirty bedroom floor

Bring me slow drugs to stop my clocks and kill my lights

Slow drugs for low love to grow on high

Bring your blue lips and your airplane eyes

I'm comin' down with something

New, so I need something strong

I've been starin' at the pavement

From the sill of my window

Bring me slow drugs to close my locks and shut my blinds

Slow drugs for bad love to hide behind

Bring your blue lips and let slip a careless sigh

When your lead lids seal your airplane eyes

Bring your slow drugs, your cold blood, your blackout smile

Give me slow drugs, my ghost love, let's skip the world tonight

Bring your blue lips and your airplane eyes
