There are things that I've done that has been good and alright.

But mostly I've been suffering from wounds and snakbites.

When thunderstorms are raging I gotta go and buy a kite.

And I'll snort any powder that's cheap and white.



That's just the way it is

I live in a self-destructive way

I need a cocktail based on poison

To get me through the day.



I'm slurping up a mixture from the drinkbook of Jim Jones.

Yeah, I can't resist a bottle with them skull and bones.

Gotta get some action and I don't care in which way.

Paid the maker a visit but he didn't want me anyway.

I feel like an attraction in some freakshow act.

But this is how I live and there is no way back.

I spin the chamber when the days get slow.

I've cheated death ten days in a row.
