You’re the slide of the needle, the caress of the smoke
The burn of the crystal, the long inhaled toke
I’m the dilated pupil, the pause of the breath
The dry itchy tongue, the flirtation with death
CHORUS
Is it wrong of me to want you forever?
Or right to leave you? I don’t know what’s better?
Is it wrong of me to want you forever?
Will I survive if we’re apart or together?
I don’t know what’s better?
I don’t know what’s better.
I don’t know what’s better.
I don’t know what’s better
Enough’s not enough, all of you is my fix
Divine ecstasy in our chemical mix
I’m teetering on edge, begging intervention, Oho
Is freedom from you my overdose prevention?
CHORUS
Stretched out and raw, I want one more high
You could offer me rehab, but I might choose to fly
The comedown too low, the turkey too cold
I’d rather die from you, than from growing old
So light me up, past the point of no return
Engulf my soul, feel me burn
Stretched out and raw, I want one more high
You could offer me rehab, but I might choose to fly
The comedown too low, the turkey too cold
I’d rather die from you, than from growing old
So light me up, past the point of no return
Engulf my soul, feel me burn
Whether right or wrong, I want you forever
I’m all tied up and you’re my tether
You’re the affliction I cannot weather, Oh
You’re the addiction I cannot sever, Yah, Oh, Mmm
