DRUGS

Drugs, tell me where have you gone

You've been enough to fuel the dancers

But not enough to give me answers

I can't make love 'til all the bodies have gone

I can't wait for the sun to kiss the chaos away

Sitting in a circle, Charlie takes center stage

Along with the bottles, cans, and full ashtrays

Clammy hands and empty eyes

Short of breath, she asks if I'm all right

Of course I am, I'm supersonic

The girls drink wine and gin and tonic

The boys are on beer and smoking chronic

Sharing jokes and past heroics

We're not getting younger, and don't we know it

Conversations flowing, some are dancing, and some are frozen

Observing eyes on the ones we don't know

Everyone's a DJ

Everyone's a poet

Smoke rings are hot and roasting

Want to sing, but my throat's closing

Perhaps, I'll retreat, go for a sleep

Fear of missing out

Someone might take my seat

And nick my bird like a pick 'n mix sweet

I've worked all week, and I need release

Drugs, tell me where have you gone?

You've been enough to fuel the dancers

But not enough to give me answers

I can't make love 'til all the bodies have gone

I can't wait for the sun to kiss the chaos away

(Kiss the chaos away)

(Kiss the chaos away)

(Kiss the chaos away)

(Kiss the chaos away)

So I'm dancing in the bathroom while the drugs are free

Now a couple argue, what's the beef?

They kiss and make up like it's meant to be

Not much changes, the same old faces

The same feeling next day, feeling wasted

Looking at the ceiling, tired and vacant

And when you wait for the last man standing

Watch in him pacing, his poor mind racing, jaw aching

On the floor, other corpses waking

One's not, maybe I should shake him

Another weekend wasted

Always someone there to make a profit

Always someone's eyes popping out of the sockets

Never too late to stop it

There's always dramas and plot twists

Never quesiton what's in this

Rocket fuel for space kids

In it for the buzz and the mood lift

Until you run out, and your mood shifts

Drugs, tell me where have you gone?

You've been enough to fuel the dancers

But not enough to give me answers

I can't make love 'til all the bodies have gone

I can't wait for the sun to kiss the chaos away

(Kiss the chaos away)

(Kiss the chaos away)

(Kiss the chaos away)

(Kiss the chaos away)

Drugs, tell me where have you gone?

You've been enough to fuel the dancers

But not enough to give me answers

I can't make love 'til all the bodies have gone

I can't wait for the sun to kiss the chaos away
