He slipped his pills in your mouth His wine washed it all down In that unholy desert town And when you fell to the ground The strangers crowded around And your ears entertained the muffled sounds Of stilettoed heals And the DJ's appeals To the sedated Las Vegas crowd But that's the price that you pay When you resign your fate To the medicine man that you found
But you don't seek death You just like to court it by night So, that when the morning comes It's just you and the sun And you've escaped with your life One more time
The night you mixed the medicines Like a lab experiment In the cellars of your anatomy Did you ever stop to think Of anyone or anything? The calls you claim you couldn't see? And it's so often that you spoke Of how this life's a fucking joke And I'll never say I disagreed But when you take it too far And you burn out like a star You know you could've fell on me
Because you never sought death You just liked to court it by night So, that when the morning comes It's just you and the sun And everything's alright Alright?
