lyrics

Lines on the highway lines on the dash
Staring down staring out staring through skylight
Spiritual twilight tonight is a long last night

Goodbyes some we said with loving lines
Some we said while we were slowly turning
Away from the shining sun of hope setting in your eyes

And I've got a little shard tickling my nose
And it ain't no harm I just like the way it rolls
So give me my pinners and port mama please
And a little half n half in my bergamont tea
And I wont lie there ain't nothing like
My methamphetamines

I think Im gonna scream
In this freakishly fastly passing dream
I think I hear what I think

And this chaos of chemicals is heavenly
Compared to a breath of reality
Sleeping with our eyes open
Seventy-fiven down the line
We're just trying to explain
Insisting we believe
In the fading novelty
Of our desired disease
It's deadly it's deadly it's deadly

And I've got a little shard tickling my nose
And it ain't no harm as long as the night rolls
So give my my pinners and port mama please
And a little half n half in my bergamont tea
And I wont lie there ain't nothing like
My methamphetamines
My methamphetamines
