i'm nearly out of weed

and i've run dry of booze

i flushed my heroin and cocaine

and i miss the escape they offered

because now all i have are cigarettes

and she doesn't like the smell of smoke

or tobacco

besides, i feel like i've built an immunity

and i need something stronger

to calm my nerves

she says, "drink coffee and chew celery

stay away from the rest"

but she's too clean to understand

and i want to be clean but not really

because i like the feeling my 'friends' give me

i guess i'm just really tired and sleepy

and i want something strong and heavy

to wake me up
