Sometimes I try to understand why people live in other worlds than this one
They can't laugh, they can't walk
They have sex, but they don't talk
A so-called medicine helped them on the streets
Now they're beggin' for some money
To get some more
Of that good stuff, it dazes, it sweeps you up, and wears you out
Sometimes I'm walking through the streets of a town which once was happiness and laughter all around
But now this place has transformed into a graveyard, with some bodies alive, but most of 'em are dead
And I wish I could help them, that they would tell me their stories
But they're too far away to tell me anything at all
They don't even see me
And they don't know what's good and what's wrong and what's okay
All they know is that in the end of the day
They sit on their skinny broken butts
And they wonder how to get some more and how to survive through the hell
'Cause without it, they see the paleness of their skin
And their white bones underneath it
And their eyes are just unseen
We don't care, we don't care about the people who prefer a dream, rather than this real life with both beauty and pain
And they say that there's no bad aspect about a cigarette or a pill
And everyday we die while we get into our stylish bathtubs and our nice huge beds and while eating our croissants and decaf herbal tea
But all we want is relaxing, not in a natural way, but with the things we got from a man standing on the corner of the street
And all that this God knows, drugs are all we love
Let's take it all
And die together
Why wait until tomorrow, when we can taste a bit of heaven right now?
Love
